About Me

I am a student in my senior year at Lewis & Clark College, pursuing my Bachelor of Arts. In May 2024, I will be graduating with majors in two different departments: Rhetoric & Media Studies, and Sociology & Anthropology. For the past three years, I have worked in the Office of Campus Living at Lewis & Clark College, with my work being focused in residential community development, media coordination, and peer mentorship. Outside of my academic pursuits and employment in residential life, I am also interested in volunteer-work, and have been a volunteer at the Yucaipa Animal Placement Society for eight years, both in-person and remotely. I have skills in media marketing, crisis management, programming, student/peer mentorship and conflict mediation; in addition, I have experience with Adobe Creative Cloud, StarRez, Canva and Stata Statistical Software.
