April Osborne, M.Ed.

I was born and raised in Austin, Texas where I also attended The University of Texas at Austin and graduated with a BS degree in Sport Management. Before starting my master’s degree, I worked full-time trying out a few different industries including a high school college access program, sport and consumer marketing, and state government. During that time, I knew something was missing and decided that working with students was my passion. I attended Texas State University in San Marcos, Texas, and received my M.Ed in Student Affairs in Higher Education. After graduation, I set my eyes on Colorado and joined the Academic Advising team in September 2017.
