Profile

B.A. Psychology, University of Oregon

M.S. Educational Policy, Foundation and Administrative Studies, focus on Adult & Continuing Education, Portland State University

Becki has been at PSU since 1995, and worked in both Financial Aid and Admissions, Registration and Records before coming to the Undergraduate Advising and Support Center (UASC) in 2003. After spending 7 1/2 years as an Academic Adviser/Community College Liaison, Becki became the Associate Director of UASC in 2010.

As with many students, Becki's first year in college was quite a change from growing up in a small town. She had the opportunity during her undergraduate years to participate in programs that helped students with their transition into college. These opportunities paired with her work-study job in the advising office helped her realize that she wanted a career in higher education.

Becki enjoys her interactions with students and helping them to navigate their way to their degree.  The highlight of her year is helping with Commencement and seeing students whom she has advised fulfilling their goals!

In her spare time--when not being a wife and mom and attending soccer games--Becki is the lead vocalist in a Christian band called Smells, Bells and Yells!
