Artist & Owner

• Jan 2018 - Present

I am thrilled to embark on the adventure of sharing my distinct perspective of the world through my art! Long ago, I discovered the joy of painting and since then, I've been captivated by the process of bringing my imagination to life on canvas, through prints, and most recently in the organizational space. There's an endless array of breathtaking landscapes waiting to be depicted. As an artist, my work revolves around celebrating the mesmerizing beauty of our planet through nature-inspired compositions. Currently, I find great inspiration in the majestic Utah mountains and the awe-inspiring presence of whales.--perhaps it's my Taurus roots that draw me to these subjects. Regardless, I am driven to uncover the awe-inspiring potential that lies within our surroundings. Show less

Assistant Director of Student Life

• Aug 2018 - Jun 2020

Overseeing the programmatic and daily operations of this office, I was the coordinator for all things student activities at KCC. My responsibilities included developing departmental strategic goals; hiring, training, and supervising 4 student workers to facilitate campus events; fostering the development and engagement of registered student organizations; advising the Associated Students of Klamath Community College (ASKCC); and managing the operation and expansion of the KCC food pantry. In my two-year tenure in the role, the office was able to coordinate countless campus-wide events on topics of leadership, service, wellness, and diversity. More than anything, I am proud to have supported KCC students as they emerged as advocates for themselves and other students. A prime example of this is the proposal and development of the KCC Wellness Center which was spearheaded by the student government to create a free space for physical and mental wellness. I also had the unique opportunity to work with the student government, First Year Experience Coordinator, and KCC facilities to design and move the Office of Student Life into an intentional and function office space for all students.
