Meet Team Butterfly
Renee Anderton
Hi my name is Renee and I am currently a Junior Studying Community Health Education at Northern Michigan University. I am originally from Houghton, MI. After I graduate I plan to work with kids and young adults on being proactive, having a positive mindset, and understanding how vital preventive health is. I also would like to work with diabetic patients and find ways to change their lifestyle, that could result in reducing the need for medication if possible. I enjoy being outside in all seasons and staying active by hiking, swimming, running, doing yoga and rollerblading. I also love ice cream and sushi!
Joe Novak
Hello! My name is Joe Novak, I am an NMU graduating senior (May 2017) studying Cell & Molecular Neuroscience. My hometown is Antigo, Wisconsin. I’m hoping to continue my education on to medical school to become a medical doctor in either family or emergency medicine. I enjoy scuba diving, remodeling classic cars (like my ‘88 Mustang), collecting vintage comic books, playing tennis, spending time with friends, and practicing my Christian faith. I’m a brother of the global social fraternity Alpha Sigma Phi, and I have served a term as a chapter president.
Kyle Oldenkamp
Hello, my name is Kyle Oldenkamp. I am a junior at Northern Michigan University, and I’m studying Nursing. Hudsonville, Michigan, is home for me when I’m not at school. After graduation, my plan is to get situated in a hospital around Grand Rapids and do some medical mission trips on the side. In my spare time, I enjoy family time, cross country skiing, camping/hiking, paintball, mountain biking, scuba diving, pickup games, board games, and video games.
