I began my professional journey at EOU at the beginning of 2017, however, the University has featured prominently in my life since I was a child. I have many fond memories of campus from attending athletic events and concerts, to participating in the many youth programs in the performing arts and sciences that I was fortunate enough to have access to.
Although life took me away from the Grande Ronde Valley for several years, when I finally had the opportunity to finish my undergraduate studies I knew exactly where I wanted to go, and I returned to EOU to complete degrees in history and anthropology in 2016. The incredible support I received from the staff and faculty at EOU, both as a youth and while completing my degree, was truly life changing and inspired me to remain as an employee so I could become a part of providing the same transformative educational experience for future students.
My family means the world to me so when I’m not on campus, you can find me spending quality time with my three wonderful children and our sweet pup Regina.
I am grateful for all of my opportunities to learn and grow professionally through my experiences at EOU.
I was invited to begin my career at EOU in March, 2000 as the Office Specialist/Receptionist for offices of Admissions and Financial Aid. Within a couple of years, I was on a team building out the Banner Recruitment Module and soon thereafter reclassified as an Administrative Program Assistant over Communications. Feeling confident in my Banner knowledge, I took a role as an Analyst Programmer in Information Technology leading the development of the Banner application and various support functions for enrollment services, however realizing my lack of programming skills, I transitioned to the Residence Life Office for a couple of years managing the housing assignments and billing. By request I settled back with Admissions in an Administrative Professional role overseeing operations during a time of software transition with Salesforce. Yet another change came quickly and we said hello to Slate, and I was/am a team captain for the recruitment portion of Slate.
Outside of EOU, my husband and I own and operate a local retail store in La Grande, R&C Adventure Footwear. I have six children and two (and counting) grandchildren. We enjoy traveling, hiking, fishing and connecting with people.
