As the Assistant Director of Academic Persistence in the Office of Student Support, Violet leads academic case management and coordinates campus-wide academic persistence initiatives to help students successfully navigate their path to graduation. Drawing on five years of experience supporting Pacific students in Campus Living, Violet works closely with both students and campus partners to demystify academic processes, support attendance and grade recovery, and guide students through enrollment choices. Violet is dedicated to building student-centered support systems where every student feels empowered to succeed.

With a decade of experience across student affairs, disability services, and executive leadership with Gamma Rho Lambda National Sorority, Violet pairs deeply individual, student-centered relationship-building with broad organizational systems development. Their background includes extensive direct support for neurodivergent students, individuals with disabilities, and historically marginalized, multicultural, and LGBTQ+ populations. Violet is dedicated to building collaborative support networks that foster long-term student success.

As a queer, non-binary human with disabilities and chronic illness, Violet is always happy to connect on these identities with students and colleagues or in broader professional discussions. While not their primary job responsibilities, Violet is also passionate and skilled in student leadership development, workshop design and delivery, graphic and document design, and organizing physical spaces.

They love staying at home - working on collage projects or cuddling with their dogs Goose and Cricket. You'll occasionally find them outside of the house for thrifting, going to the lake, and Pacific student events.
