Student Assistants

Kayla Feldon

Hi everyone! I’m Kayla Feldon, a senior studying Criminal Justice with a minor in Criminalistics, and I will be graduating this spring. A fun fact about me is that I have a huge sweet tooth. It’s been two years since I first started working with the CHHS Advising Office, and I’m excited to join all of you in the Dean’s Office! 

Jacqueline Ibarra

My name is Jaqueline Ibarra. I am the new student employee in the office. I have been working with the CHHS Advising team since summer of 2024 and I am a pre-nursing major doing my last semester of pre-reqs. I enjoy walks outside and the fall season! I look forward working with everyone in the office and I hope to meet everyone soon as well!

Jamena Mcgilberry

Hi everyone! My name is Jamena McGilberry, and I’m in my third year studying Cybersecurity. I’ve worked with the Orientation team for the past year and a half supporting incoming students, and I’m excited to bring that experience here while learning the inner workings of the office. I’m really looking forward to getting to know you all and contributing to the team!
