Despite being a graduate from CU Boulder, I found multiple touchpoints with Naropa over the last few years and realized the impact its core values and environment had on the people in their community. After managing social media pages and building digital communities for entrepreneurial businesses over the last few years, I decided to join the Naropa community myself as an admissions counselor to support the changemakers of tomorrow. With my extensive experience in the world of business and my background in psychology and higher education, I’ve seen firsthand how contemplative education and mindfulness teach the crucial soft skills everyone needs in order to thrive in today’s fast-paced world, regardless of their industry. My job here is to show everyone how Naropa creates an environment where everybody feels safe, seen, heard, honored, and respected.
