My name is Caroline Gallegos and I’m an IRIS Advisor for Team Black. I’m a CMU alum, and I’m thrilled to be back on campus serving the students and community that make CMU so great! During my time as a student, I studied English Literature and worked as a freshman orientation leader in the summers.
I grew up in Grand Junction but moved to California after graduating from CMU. I went back to school to get my teaching credential and spent a few years teaching high school English. Eventually, I decided that Colorado was home and made the move back to the Western Slope. I’m so happy to be here and to have the opportunity to serve students who want to further their education and chase their goals and dreams. Everyone is welcome in my office, and there is no issue too big or too small that we can’t tackle together!
In my free time I enjoy playing video games, playing or watching D&D, doing embroidery, river rafting, reading, and hanging out with my three cats—Queso, Beanz (Yogi), and Stella. Little tchotchkes bring me joy, I love doing DIY projects around the house, and I enjoy rewatching the same seven shows I’ve watched 1,000 times.
I’m so glad you’re here at CMU, and I hope you enjoy your time here as a student much as I did!
