Deb has a master’s degree in Organizational Leadership and a bachelor’s degree in Sports Management. She has been with Scripps College for 13 years.

Favorite place on campus: Tiernan Field House (of course!)

Favorite way to engage the Scripps community: My favorite way to engage is through a shared interest or program. On any given day, that could mean a meal at Malott Commons, a Diversity and Equity workshop, or a student employment position such as a Laspa Fellowship. Scripps is such a unique place with so many opportunities, it’s difficult to choose just one!
