My name is Elysa and I am a dedicated and enthusiastic practitioner-scholar. Originally from the redwood forest of northern California, I earned my Bachelor’s Degree in Child Development in 2017 with a focus on life span development.
Since then, my career journey has brought me across the country to experience a variety of higher education settings. Currently, I serve North Carolina State University’s military-affiliated population while a part-time student in the NC State University’s Higher Education Administration Master’s Program.
I’ve always had a passion for education and my undergraduate degree was focused on determining my best fit. Naturally, I had assumed teaching would be the path to staying in the education field, however it didn’t quite fit me – preschool, middle school, high school. Math, physical education, biology. None of it felt completely right until I had the realization that higher education, working with adult learners, was my best leap forward. Since then, my career has been a winding journey through higher education’s various opportunities.
