As an undergraduate at Oregon State, I started off studying biology with the singular goal of getting into medical school and becoming a surgeon. However, through my student positions at the Writing Center, as a calculus tutor, writing for the honors college newspaper, and as a cadet in Army ROTC, I fell in love with higher education. It is such an incredibly powerful space for student development and determining their own values. After graduation, I went on to work in Human Resources and as program administrator and teacher for an ELL program, before finally making it back to Oregon State University as faculty support for Ecampus. This is where I was introduced to OWHE. After three years, I took a new position as academic programs manager with Ecampus, where I support departments that would like to offer for-credit programs online and track all programs. My role is to provide information, streamline and rethink old processes, and bring the right people together. After three long years, in June 2018, I am finishing an MBA in Business Analytics, where I have found a passion for programming and exploring datasets. Over the last five years, I also have dedicated time to mentoring student workers into thoughtful, empowering leaders who desire equity and inclusivity in the world, as my mentors did when I was an undergrad. I am excited by the opportunity to leverage my skill set and experiences to provide opportunities to build more women and allies into strong leaders.
