What I love about Whitman: The small yet mighty community. While Whitman may be a small college, our students are always willing to come together to support each other and the Walla Walla community. 

Why I enjoy working in Admissions: As a first generation student that went through the process of finding their college. I understand how daunting the college application process can be. After working at my own university's admissions office I have enjoyed guiding prospective students through the college process and assisting them in finding the right college for them. 

Favorite Activities in Walla Walla: After growing up in the Walla Walla Valley my favorite thing to do is explore downtown. Downtown has so much to offer from dining, shopping, and live music. 

My Favorite Place on Campus: Topophilia Gates. A beautiful glass art piece that sits in the stream that runs through campus. 

Fun Fact(s) About Me: I bungee jumped 250 feet in Central Oregon on a whim. I enjoy experiencing live music through concerts, bailes, and jaripeos.
