New Faces on Campus! As a dedicated visual artist with a decade of experience, I’ve navigated the dynamic landscape of the art world by balancing roles with established local artists while also nurturing my personal creative endeavors. Academic Specialization I joined Ivy Tech’s Fine Art Department a month ago as a part-time team member and I’m thrilled to contribute to the next generation of artists. Outside of Ivy Tech, you’ll find me in my home studio, where I craft sterling silver and gemstone jewelry. Beyond making, I’m a passionate concert-goer, finding joy in other’s creations, and watching the latest tv series cuddled up with my cat, Jasper, and my partner, Patrick. Experience at Ivy Tech Fun Fact!

Academic Specialization
I’m a practicing mental health counselor, and my therapeutic specializations are anxiety, trauma, and neurodivergence in young and middle-aged adults.
Experience at Ivy Tech
I’m pretty new! I started teaching as an adjunct in October 2023, and I was hired as a full-time faculty member in March.
Fun Fact!

I have synesthesia! My version is pretty boring, though: I just see colors when I see numbers. For example, 7 is always green, and 8 is always red.

Ivy+ Career Link’s SASE Career Coach Lilandra Dwenger-Lestz
llestz@ivytech.edu +1 (317) 921-4800 ext. 4541 lilandra-dwenger-lestz-80b215161
We’re excited to introduce our amazing new SASE Career Coach, Lilandra! She’s passionate about what she does and has already worked with several of our faculty, presented at our recent Dean’s List event, and hosted a myriad of workshops - including employability, elevator pitches, interview prep, and networking. Lilandra considers herself a ‘Midwestern Nomad,’ although she’s been able to spend much of her life in Indiana. She has lived in Indianapolis for the past five (5) years - working in career services for just as long - and she just graduated with a Master’s in Education Leadership Practice this year. She was also recently accepted into the Axis Leadership Program, an empowering initiative for young Latinx leaders in Indiana!
Lilandra likes to spend quality time with her close connections, listen to music (singing in the car is a must!), exercise, and watch Korean dramas. When she’s not doing that, however, she’s loving on Mojo, her adorable miniature Australian shepherd, and dreaming of hosting her own podcast or tv show. Perhaps the most important thing to know about her though, she says, is, “I want to continue to be unapologetically, authentically, myself.”
