What is the Association of Faculty and Staff for the Advancement of People of Color (AFAPC)?
We are an organization that works to recruit, retain, build community, and provide support (nourishment, enrichment, and inspiration) for faculty and staff of color, and indigenous, and mixed-heritage identities at Oregon State University. We believe in providing a climate of acceptance and promote the principles of diversity and inclusion.

What is your AFAPC involvement?
I am excited to serve as one of the AFAPC co-chairs for the upcoming year! I am passionate about building meaningful communities and am committed to leading authentically with my values of radical love, critical vulnerability, and justice/equity.
Fun things about me:
- I am obsessed with my pups, Monster (a corgi) and Max (chihuahua mix).
- In my free time, I love playing board games, reading, and junk journaling.
- I'm a Leo that loves to yap - reach out if you ever want to chat!
