I was born and raised in Loveland, CO and graduated from Mountain View High School. I visited Dakota Wesleyan University and immediately fell in love with the college campus. I worked as a Student Worker and Ambassador in the Admissions Office at DWU and knew that College Admissions was the career for me. My favorite part of the role is working with students and families as they see all of the college opportunities that are open to them. When I am not at UNC, I enjoy hiking, watching movies, trying new restaurants and learning new skills.

I grew up right here in Greeley, Colorado, and have watched this town grow throughout the years. There are so many great opportunities in this town, I am excited to continue to be a part of this community!
I graduated here at UNC in 2022 with a degree in Music Business with an emphasis in voice with two certificates in the music area. During my time as a student, I worked as a student ambassador where I found a strong passion for helping students and families take that next step into their future. My favorite part of working in admissions is being able to connect with students I get to meet and support them through the college search process.

I was born in Chihuahua, Mexico but was raised in Colorado. I have moved around a lot from Aurora, Commerce City, Denver, Thornton, and Greeley. I am a two-time alumna of UNC. At my time at UNC, I started as a non-traditional student when I transferred. UNC was just what I wanted. Not too big and not too small to get the full college experience. I received tremendous support from many people on campus and departments such as the Cesar Chavez Cultural Center, Center for Women & Gender Equity, and EMSA. Thanks to the this support I was able to open up about my identities and support other students. During my journey at UNC, I advocated for open access and financial/professional resources for undocumented students. Due to this experience, I learned that my passion was to serve students and I received my masters in Higher Education and Student Affairs Leadership.

I was raised in Glenwood Springs Colorado where I attended school k-12. I continued my education as a first-generation student at Colorado State University where I received my B.A in Political Science and a minor in International Development. During my time at CSU, I worked as an ambassador for transfer admissions for 2 years where I learned how important support to access in higher education is, especially with underrepresented students. My time working with transfer students as an ambassador made me realize my passion for helping students in higher education and finding their home away from home.

Saludos! I grew up in a city not too far from here called Brighton, about 45 minutes from Greeley. At the time it was a lot smaller of a town. I attended school with roughly the same group of students at three different stages (elementary, middle school, high school). Mi familia is originally from Durango, Durango in Mexico and Spanish is my first language! I am a first-generation student and I recently received my bachelors with my degree in Musical Theater and a minor in dance here at the University of Northern Colorado.
In my time as a student at UNC I served as a student ambassador for almost 4 years, worked closely with our cultural centers, performed in several mainstage theater productions and I helped start a student organization named Operation: Cheesecake to promote proper representation and serve as a theater for social change. In my free time I love reading plays, watching movies and dancing!

I was born and raised in Aurora, Colorado. Colorado has so much to offer, so I chose to start my career here!
I graduated in 2022 from UNC with a bachelor's degree in Biological Sciences. I am a first-generation student and take pride in my journey through the Natural and Health Sciences department. The most memorable parts of this journey were the hours I spent in the classroom, the research I was apart of, the countless office hours and labs I attended, and overall, the knowledge I gained along the way.
During my time at UNC, I worked at Outdoor Pursuits, where I found my passion for the outdoors. OP gave me new experiences like snowboarding, which were not very accessible for my family growing up. Because of this, I appreciated OP because they provided the opportunity to access the outdoors in an affordable way, while making lifelong connections to those around me. This program is available to all students, so I recommend utilizing it whether you're well versed in the outdoors or a first timer.
As I navigated through college, I cultivated relationships unlike any other. With the confidence I gained through my degree, from my employment, and from those around me, I am excited to work alongside diverse individuals like myself. As an Admissions Counselor, I look forward to providing support and resources to people during their college search process.
