I am the Advanced Academic Advisor for Guam.  I first started with UMGC as an active duty Army soldier/student at Camp Zama, Japan, and many years later graduated from UMGC with my Bachelor’s degree.  I have been employed by UMGC since 2000 and am fortunate to work with the best team in Asia. My goal is to provide every single UMGC student with the same quality and care that I first received as a UMGC student.  If you have any questions, please reach out to me and I will provide you the best assistance possible.

Robert Thomas

Advanced Academic Advisor

In 1992, I began my long career in academic advising here at UMGC Asia. I completed a brief stint as a degree auditor from 2007-2010. I have been fortunate to help our military students for so many years along with their affiliates, dependents, and civilians not connected to US military bases to assist them in their educational goals. My biggest joy at the moment is being a grandfather to our newly born granddaughter, and helping her become fluent in both English and Japanese.

Jessica Herring

Academic Advisor

I am the Academic Advisor for MCAS Iwakuni and Sasebo NB. I attended multiple universities in order to ultimately obtain my bachelor’s degree from Thomas Edison State University in 2016. My nontraditional college experience inspired me to help others navigate through their academic journey. My husband is in the military and I am passionate about helping the military community through their unique challenges. In my free time, I enjoy being outdoors with my husband and dog. My favorite thing to do is to find a mountain and spend the day hiking and rock climbing our way to the top.

Tynia Boyd

Academic Advisor

I have been the Misawa advisor since 2019, but I have been with UMGC since June 2017. In December 2018, I received my master’s degree in Health Care Administration from UMGC, so I am very familiar with the student experience and am happy to share any advice I have to help students be more successful. I have a very open-door policy, so if you ever want to drop by because you need my help, or just want to say hello, please do so!
