PSU History
Prior to my current involvement with Portland State University, my primary role within PSU has been serving as an Administrative Program Assistant (APA) with the Office of Student Affairs (OSA).
Experience
In this role, I have developed a strong foundation in administrative and secretarial support, along with managing confidential records with a high level of accuracy and discretion. I have also gained experience in program and project coordination, ensuring tasks are completed efficiently and in alignment with organizational goals.
Additionally, I bring strong professional communication and public relations skills, complemented by effective organization and workflow management. I have consistently worked in cross-departmental settings, collaborating with various teams to support operations and enhance overall efficiency.
Academic/Research Interest
My primary academic areas focus on Management and Leadership, as well as Human Resource Management, which I am currently pursuing at Portland State University. My interests center around organizational development, leadership, and supporting individuals through structured systems that improve both efficiency and overall experience.
While my role at PSU is administrative rather than academic, I was drawn to working at Portland State—and particularly within student-focused and social impact environments—because of its strong commitment to equity, inclusion, and community support. Through my experience supporting student services and working with diverse populations, I value being part of an institution that prioritizes accessibility and meaningful impact.
Personal Interest
Outside of work, I enjoy reading and spending time outdoors, especially hiking. I like being in nature and taking advantage of the beautiful trails in the Pacific Northwest.
I also enjoy taking care of my houseplants—it’s something I find relaxing and rewarding. Overall, I like spending my free time doing things that help me unwind and feel balanced.
