TRIO Staff

Your TRIO Staff

When I grow up I am going to……? How are you answering that question? For me, the answer has been to work in an educational setting. It just never gets old. I constantly have the opportunity to learn, grow and meet new people. I find challenge and inspiration every day. My job as the Director of TRIO SSS has been the best job yet. It is a privilege to serve you. Please feel free to stop by with any ideas you may have on how to strengthen the TRIO community and facilitate the success of our participants.

Hello! I have worked at Helena College for a little over three years and I’ve had the pleasure advising students in their academic journey. As the Assistant Director of TRIO & MT10, I get to work on program elements and be creative with the events we implement. I love exploring Montana and playing outside. I enjoy mountain biking, hiking, camping, and paddle boarding. My professional experience is in Residence Life and Student Activities, and I have my Master’s degree in Student Affairs. I love working with TRIO and MT10 students, especially when I get to know their story and their “why” behind the “what.” Thank you for letting me join you in your journey!

I am a TRIO Advisor and I work with students with disabilities to help provide them accommodations and access to courses. I feel privileged and honored to bring my services to TRIO students, and I look forward to working with you all! I have always been passionate about, and have a lot of experience working in education.

Outside of work, I like to enjoy the outdoors, I especially appreciate the nature Helena has to offer by taking walks and hikes on my favorite trails and parks, fishing and swimming in some of the lovely waters around Helena. I also love to play video games, watch movies, and read books.

Hello, it is my privilege to work as the TRIO Coordinator at Helena College. I have spent my career in education. I was an elementary educator for many years, and now I am honored to work with learners at the college level.

 I am a Helena native and enjoy all the beauty this city has to offer, especially the incredible trail system. I love hiking with my golden doodles, reading and spending time with my husband and three college kids. Please stop by and say hello. I can’t wait to get to know you!
