I have lived in Colorado for most of my life, but only moved to Fort Collins in August of 2017 to attend CSU. I received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Human Development and Family Studies with a concentration in Leadership and Entrepreneurial Professions in May of 2021. I have 8 years of leadership experience in the food service industry, but my true passion has always been building community and serving the underserved. I have a passion for equity, diversity, and inclusion — and I completed numerous courses as well as an internship with Poudre School District centered around these subjects during my time at CSU. I love to make people laugh, and enjoyed my time as a Rams Improv Comedy troupe member in college. I joined the FoCo Cafe team as Operations Manager in August of 2022, and stepped into the role of Executive Director in February of 2023 — now overseeing all operations of FoCo Cafe.
