Major: Human Services

Hi there! My name is Celeste, I am in my 3rd year at Western, and this is my first year on the WSS (Western Success Scholars) team! I am a first-generation college student, as well as a former foster youth, so I understand the hardships, confusion, and challenges that someone who may be in a comparable situation might face. That is why I am in this role -- to help others in our community who may want support in navigating their time at Western. I am so excited to meet everyone, as well as work with my amazing coworkers who are also on the WSS team!  

When I am not in class or in the WSS office, you can find me exploring the forests of Mt. Baker, walking my dog around Bellingham, cooking up something in my kitchen, or playing video games on my couch! If you see me (especially if I have my dog with me) feel free to say hi!  

I look forward to seeing where this journey takes us, and I hope you find this space to be welcoming, supportive, and safe.
