Life Story

I grew up in Washington state, near Portland, OR and have an undergraduate degree from Western Washington University in communication studies and Spanish. I moved to the Midwest after college and have worked for a variety of different youth and community development organizations. I originally joined the University of Minnesota working for the Alumni Association before transitioning to Career & Internship Services. I am a current master’s student at the U as well!

Out of Work Obsessions

My pets, crafting, nature, travel.

Best Part of the College Experience

The community I found and the ways I learned about the world, others and myself.

Something You Wish You Had More Time for

Traveling to new places and visiting my loved ones.

Favorite Place in the Whole World

In the forest or by the ocean. There is a special level of calm tall trees or ocean waves bring.

Best Way to Spend a Saturday

Spending time outside, enjoying delicious food and adventuring somewhere new with friends and family.
