I am a graduate of CU-Boulder with deep roots in the “drylands” in eastern Colorado. Both my parents are from ranching families, and they taught me the value of a hardworking community. I am proud to be part of SASC, where building a strong, multicultural community is the foundation of academic success. SASC is a great place to work, play, and achieve your best destiny.
