About Me

🏡 Hometown: La Grande, Oregon
📚 Education: B.A. in International Studies and Spanish; M.A. in Language Teaching Studies, University of Oregon

I grew up in La Grande, Oregon, and attended the University of Oregon for college. I originally planned to teach at universities abroad, but the pandemic brought me back closer to my community here in Oregon, where I discovered higher education as a rewarding career path. I worked for Southern Oregon University as an admissions counselor before joining the staff here at PSU, and I love helping prospective students navigate their own college journeys!

✨Fun Facts:

• During my undergraduate studies, I was able work and learn abroad in both Spain and Japan
• I was highly involved on my college campus, working with Housing, Club Sports, and the American English Institute
• I am passionate about advocacy and was active in support programs for underrepresented students during my time in school
