About Me
Originally from Minneapolis, Minnesota, I recently made the move to Bellingham after spending a decade visiting family and falling in love with the area's mountains, forests, and coastline.
I attended a small college in Iowa and graduated with a B.A. in Biology. It was during my undergrad that I discovered my passion for working with students while serving as a tour guide and visit team coordinator for the admissions office. That experience showed me how meaningful it can be to help students find the right fit and navigate their next steps on their college journey.
Outside of work, you'll usually find me exploring local trails, browsing thrift stores, or checking out a new coffee shop. On rainy days, I'm happiest with a cat in my lap and a good book or show.
I'm beyond excited to be a part of the Western community and help students and families navigate the college process. I am here to help you make the most informed decision about your college path, so please don’t hesitate to reach out. I look forward to working with you!
