Starting an online degree can be intimidating, but your Student Success Coaches are here to help. They’re part master jugglers, part star planners and part motivational speakers. And with years of advising experience and extensive knowledge about Boise State’s online programs, they’re with you every step of the way–from exploring our online degree options to applying and then finding an advisor. When you connect with a coach, they’ll walk you through your options and help you figure out if a Boise State online degree is right for you. No obnoxious sales pitch, just honest help.
Some of the questions we can answer:
- Is an online degree right for me?
- How long will it take to get my degree?
- Will my past coursework transfer into the program?
- How do I apply?

I have worked in higher education student success for over a decade now, and what I enjoy most about working with students is having an active role in their personal, professional and career growth, development and success.
As a first-generation college student myself, I understand the unique challenges that come with navigating college. I also remember the profound and lasting impact that mentors and coaches made in my life during those early years, as they were committed to my success and helping me discover my purpose and potential.
This is why I am passionate about coaching and supporting students, helping them build confidence, realize their dreams and conquer every obstacle that stands in their path to success.

One of my favorite parts of working with students is identifying barriers and then working together to climb over, go around or blast them out of the way entirely. It is joyful to see students accomplishing small, immediate goals and large, time-intensive goals. Everyone has a journey and education is a satisfying part of that journey. I had my own education journey when I started my associate degree again after 20 years and then went on to get my bachelor’s degree.
It took seven years, but I got there one class, one midterm and one final at a time and it was well worth the time and effort. I got my dream job soon after graduating. I think about what would have happened if I had listened to the fears in my head and not started college again or didn’t push on to finish. I am grateful for those people who cheered me on and now I am grateful I can cheer others on their journeys.
