I’m a bilingual Hmong and English-speaking Admissions Counselor supporting students pursuing Nursing programs (A–K). As a first-generation college student, daughter of a refugee, and someone raised on a farm in a low-income family with limited resources, I know firsthand that the path to higher education isn’t always easy to navigate. I’m passionate about helping students feel welcomed, informed, and confident as they take the next step toward their educational and career goals.

Outside of work, I’m a proud mama of five who loves her family, the outdoors, hunting, fishing, foraging, road trips, and cultural learning and engagement. For nearly 10 years, I’ve had the joy of traveling to all 50 states, and for more than 20 years, I’ve been honored to serve my community through volunteering, advocacy, and supporting families with essential needs.

I’m grateful to help students find their path toward a meaningful career in healthcare and to remind them that where you start does not define how far you can go.

Stay humble in your journey, resilient through every challenge, committed to learning, and generous in forgiveness. Education may open doors, but humility, resilience, and forgiveness help us grow into the person we are meant to become.
