Allie Edmondson

I was born in Colorado Springs and raised in Phoenix, Arizona. I earned my degree in Speech Communication from Oregon State University, with minors in Writing and Adventure Leadership. After graduation, I completed a year of national service with AmeriCorps NCCC. I later relocated to Denver, where I began my career in education as a first-grade teacher before transitioning into academic advising. I am passionate about supporting students as they navigate their academic journeys, explore their goals, and build meaningful educational experiences.

How do you practice self-care?
Making sure I get enough sleep on a consistent schedule, Journaling, frequent walks when weather allows
