I believe student engagement is where college truly comes alive, it\u2019s how students connect with community, grow their leadership skills, and find their voice. Whether you’re looking to get involved, plan events, or just explore what\u2019s possible outside the classroom, or just want to enjoy some tea together \u2013 come on by. I\u2019d love to talk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Before joining Bellevue College, I worked in international education and student leadership across several institutions, including Central Washington University, the University of Washington, and FIUTS (the Foundation for International Understanding Through Students). I\u2019ve supported international programs such as the UUTI-Kiribati program, the Mandela Washington Fellowship, and other global initiatives that helps bridge individuals and communities across cultures and borders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My background also includes roles in student support, immigration compliance, and program development, always with a focus on access, inclusion, and helping nurture individual growth. I hold two master\u2019s degree, one in Education from Western Governor\u2019s University and the other in International Studies from the University of Washington as well as a bachelor\u2019s degree in East Asian Studies from the State University of New York at Albany.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My own international experiences, including studying abroad and living in China, have shaped my belief in the power of cross-cultural connection. I\u2019m passionate about helping students find purpose, build confidence, and feel like they belong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Outside of work, you\u2019ll probably find me cooking something new, playing volleyball, exercising, reading a book, or relaxing with a good TV show.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":76,"featured_media":7987,"parent":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-7985","staff","type-staff","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bellevuecollege.edu\/stupro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/staff\/7985","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bellevuecollege.edu\/stupro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/staff"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bellevuecollege.edu\/stupro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/staff"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bellevuecollege.edu\/stupro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/76"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.bellevuecollege.edu\/stupro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/staff\/7985\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7986,"href":"https:\/\/www.bellevuecollege.edu\/stupro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/staff\/7985\/revisions\/7986"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bellevuecollege.edu\/stupro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7987"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bellevuecollege.edu\/stupro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7985"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
