Meet the Team

Welcome! I am so glad you landed on this page. As the Associate Director in the Academic Success & Career Center (ASCC), I primarily help lead the Career Service and Employer Relations team. I have the opportunity to help students prepare for and navigate what comes after graduation. Whether it’s linking students with majors, employers, mentors, or even navigating graduate school, our office is here to help.

I am a first-generation college student and earned my bachelor’s degree in Hospitality Business Management from Washington State University. During my time as an undergraduate at WSU, I fell in love with student services and with the help of many mentors, decided to pursue a master’s degree in Higher Education Administration. With over 15 years of student service experience, I am eager to support you and your goals.

Hello!  At the Academic Success and Career Center, ASCC, I work with the Academic Success team as an Advisor, Coach, and Technology Coordinator. I assist WSU’s students who are Deciding on which academic plan to select, are in Pre-Business and Pre-Engineering, or considering an alternative area of interest. I help link students with Resources and provide help with study skills. As the ASCC’s Technology coordinator, I work with WUS’s IT staff to develop and update programs that assist Advisors across all our campuses.

I have a bachelor’s degree in Mathematics and a master’s degree in Management and Leadership. My education and life experiences on a farm, as a dual credit coordinator at Community College, and working in Secondary education lets me assist WSU students to select an academic path that meets their goals.

Welcome! I am the Administrative Assistant for the ASCC as well as the Assistant to the Executive Director of Advising/ASCC and Interim Assistant Vice Provost, Terese King.

I came to WSU in 2019 after working for over a decade in early childhood education, and am excited to be working in higher education. I have a passion for being a constant support and problem solver for students and colleagues.

I grew up in Pullman and have always been a Coug at heart! I now live in Moscow, Idaho and spend my time with family exploring the Snake River and beautiful PNW.

Favorite Aspect of Academic Success Coaching: Each student encounters obstacles during their time in college which can be difficult. Working with students to help them work through those obstacles and come out stronger is very rewarding to me. Seeing students work toward and achieve their goals in school and in life is what I love about academic success coaching.

Fun Fact About Me: My favorite hobby is knitting! I learned how to knit when my mom gifted me a beginners’ knitting class where I learned the basics. Then from there I learned how to knit beanies, blankets, scarves, and gloves from videos online! During the winter, catch me wearing one of my many beanies!

Favorite Aspect of Academic Success Coaching: I love being able to uplift learners to the point where they can see in themselves everything that I can see.  A student’s ability to learn and take in knowledge is not a fixed thing, despite what past experiences might have taught us. It’s amazing to be part of an experience that helps students learn about themselves and the ways they can thrive academically.

Fun Fact About me: I don’t have the belly button I was born with
