BIO Hometown: I was raised in Virginia Beach, VA. I attended The College of Idaho from 2021–2025. I graduated in 2025 with a double major in Literature & Creative Writing and Theater, and minors in Professional Foundations, Classics, and Natural Science. Best thing about The College of Idaho: This place is pure magic. You’re never told to stay in one lane- at C of I, you can be an artist and a scientist, a leader and a traveler, a thinker and a doer. I felt so supported in everything I took on, whether that meant planning a huge campus event like Spring Fling, traveling on three international trips, or serving on student government. We show up for each other here, always- because community isn’t just something we talk about, it’s something we live. Best college search advice for students: Pay attention to where you feel seen. Don’t just look for the biggest name or flashiest campus- look for the place that makes you feel excited to show up, speak up, and try new things. The right college won’t just check your boxes- it’ll help you discover boxes you didn’t even know were there.

BIO Hello! I was born and raised in Idaho Falls, ID. With that I moved to Twin Falls, ID to work on my Associates Degree at the College of Southern Idaho. The best thing about the College of Idaho is the support! Everyone on campus is here to support anyone! With having smaller classes sizes we are truly able to create that personal connection. Which helps bring the school spirit up not within the college but also throughout the community! It’s not just our students selling out games it’s our community! Now if I can give you one piece of advice it would be to visit campus! Come see what we are all about! The College of Idaho can be your next home away from home. Also get involved on campus there are so many opportunities from clubs, sports, music, etc. the list goes on and on! Don’t make college a solo journey! Join the fun and come see what we are about!

BIO I was born and raised in Marin County, California which is right outside the San Francisco – Bay Area. But moved to Caldwell back in 2020 where I started my college journey as a Yote. I played Linebacker on the football team here at The College of Idaho for four years before graduating in 2024 and had the best time ever! I knew this is where I wanted to start my professional career, and I just completed my first year as an admission counselor. I love the community here in Caldwell that makes this place truly one of a kind. GO YOTES!
