Bio

Hello there! I'm Emilie Sanchez Lopez, your Equitable Funding Support Navigator at Columbia Gorge Community College. Beyond my professional role, I'm a dedicated wife and mother, sharing my home with two adorable pups, Sunny and Millie.

My journey in education led me to graduate from Columbia Gorge Community College in 2021, earning an Associate of Science Oregon Transfer - Business Degree. Alongside my passion for academia, I find joy in the culinary arts; cooking is not just a hobby but a creative outlet for me.

I'm proud to be bilingual in Spanish and English, a skill that allows me to connect with a wider range of individuals and support diverse communities effectively. I thrive on building relationships and fostering connections, finding fulfillment in every interaction.

When I'm not immersed in work or whipping up something delicious in the kitchen, you'll likely find me diving into the captivating worlds of Star Wars, Harry Potter, DC, Marvel, and Game of Thrones. As much as I enjoy these fantastical realms, I'm equally committed to supporting our community in navigating equitable funding opportunities.

Feel free to reach out—I'm here to assist and connect in any way I can. Let's make the most of our journey together!
