I began my journey at Portland Community College in 2021 as a graduate intern from Lewis & Clark College while completing my Master’s degree in Higher Education. In 2023, I advanced to the role of Enrollment Advisor, and I am now honored to serve as a First Year Experience Coach. My professional background spans alumni engagement, medical student education, residency education, and the educational technology sector—experiences that have shaped my understanding of how institutions and personal support together influence student success.
