Hello! My name is Anna, and I coordinate the academic coaching program and drop-in support at the Academic Success Center. I've worked in higher education since 2013 and love helping students identify their strengths, achieve their goals, and stress less over academics. I'm also a graduate student at OSU studying geography and geospatial science. As an undergrad, I studied anthropology and geography, and my prior graduate work is in data analysis and evaluation methods. My academic interests include peace & conflict studies, critical cartography, and critical GIS. I look forward to connecting with you!
Diego
(they/he)
Hola! My name is Diego and I grew up most of my life outside of Seattle, WA. I am in my last year as a Physics major specializing in math with minors in both math and leadership. When I am not focusing on classes or helping students at the Academic Success Center, I am helping students at the Science Success Center, mentoring for LSAMP, or working on research related to increasing access to physics education. I am passionate about increasing access for minorities in STEM and hoping to be a high school teacher post-graduation. If I am not working on something, I find joy hanging out with my friends, expressing creativity (through music, crafts, landscaping, woodworking), or playing with my guinea pig (Her name is Soba :)) I am excited to meet and learn more about the cool stuff you are involved with!
Elle
(she/her)
Hey guys! My name’s Elle and I am an Interior Design Major who’s also a part of the OSU Spirit and Sound. I transferred to Oregon State University last year from another college in Colorado where I grew up and live. I’ve changed my major many times and am excited to have finally found one that fits me as a person and offers exciting career opportunities. My expected graduation date is the spring of 2026 whereafter I plan to go into the Hospitality niche of Interior Design in hotels and resorts. If I’m not playing in the marching band or learning more about my major, I’m either listening to music while writing creative stories or sketching and watching some YouTube in the background. I can’t wait to connect with some fellow OSU students and am so excited to help create a better college experience for everyone!

Hi everyone! I’m Kaitlyn, a Marketing major with a minor in Sports Marketing, and I’m set to graduate in March 2027. After college, I’m hoping to jump into the world of sales—whether that’s pharmaceutical, medical device, or sports sales (I’m still exploring my options!). Outside of school, I love staying active through golfing, going on walks, line dancing, and playing just about any sport I can. I’m so excited to be an Academic Coach and can’t wait for the opportunity to work with you and support you through your journey!
