About

Hi, I’m Mikaela!

I work with:

  • Current WWU students interested in joining Fairhaven College

  • Current WWU students interested in adding the Audio Technology, Music & Society minor or the Law, Diversity & Justice minor 

  • First Year & Transfer students interested in joining Fairhaven College or have questions about our minors.

I'm from Olympia Washington originally and have lived in the beautiful Bellingham WA since 2021. I grew up with my mom's stories of her time at Western, both as a student and RA in the Fairhaven Dorms, and I was so excited to make Western my home for my undergrad years. I graduated from Western and Fairhaven College with an Interdisciplinary Concentration in Multicultural Counseling, Sexuality & Religion and a minor in Psychology and am currently pursuing an M.S. in Industrial-Organizational Psychology through ASU.

As an alumna of the program, I love getting to bring my own experience of the program and the options our students have to connect with the larger Western community as I meet with students interested in joining Western and Fairhaven College. 

When I'm not at work, you'll often find me drinking coffee at one of Bellingham's coffee shops, treasure hunting in a used bookstore, finding somewhere to listen to live music, or exploring our gorgeous community. 

As your first point-of-contact for anything Fairhaven related, please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions by either booking an appointment with me, or sending me an email. I'd love to help you feel ready for your first quarter with us. Welcome to WWU!
