Biography:

I am happy to be a member of Career and Advising and look forward to assist future Gators! Before coming to Green River, I worked for a South King County non-profit as a housing and employment case manager. I was a first-generation college student and currently pursuing a Master's in Public Administration. I stand and advocate for policies and practices that fight antiracism and breaking down systems of oppression, houselessness, hunger and poverty, and improve equitable economic and education opportunities for all.
