Student Ambassadors and Club Leaders
Student ambassadors and club leaders are Global Campus students who play active roles in shaping the online WSU experience. They design and host events, foster connections, and create opportunities for their peers to engage outside of the classroom.
Through these roles, these students gain valuable skills in leadership, communication, and teamwork that enrich their academic journeys and prepare them for future careers. At the same time, their efforts ensure that online learners feel supported, connected, and proud to be part of WSU—no matter where they are in the world.

Alexiis McLean
ASWSUG Director of Legislative Affairs; Club Leader
Global Business & Innovation Network (GBIN) Club
Hi, I’m Lexi! I’m stepping into the 2026-2027 school year as a co-lead of GBIN, a group I helped launch in collaboration with WSU leadership. I believe that online students deserve a space where ideas spark, friendships form, and business concepts come alive. GBIN is a place for us to gain industry knowledge and sharpen our skills.
I’m a management major and an aerospace professional with my sights set on becoming a program manager. I love any challenge that lets me organize chaos, build community, or bring people together to achieve a shared goal.
When I’m not deep in a project, you’ll probably find me talking about space missions, admiring dinosaurs like they are old friends, or exploring something new with my dog, Luna (named after the Lunar Hopper). I bring a mix of curiosity, creativity, and “let’s make this happen” energy to everything I do! I’m excited to help GBIN grow into a place where Global Campus students feel connected, confident, and ready to lead. See you soon!
Go Cougs!

Amikha Woitas
Incoming Student Ambassador/Club Leader
First Generation Cougs
Cougs and Cubs
Hi there! My name is Amikha. I was born and raised in Washington, but have lived up and down the West Coast (a.k.a. the “best coast!”) all my life. I currently live in a little town in Southwest Washington with my husband and kids (cubs), not too far from my other loves: my extended family and the ocean.
I am currently a senior double-majoring in accounting and human resource management, and I am beyond excited to be closing in on a dream long deferred as I work towards earning my degree.
As a first-generation student, I know firsthand how important connection and support can be for a student’s success. This year, I am honored to serve as a student ambassador and as your president for the First-Generation Club. I’m passionate about helping others move past survival to truly thrive, and I hope to help connect students with programs, resources, and opportunities that will make their experiences at WSU memorable and meaningful.
I hope you will join me at First-Gen Club or some of our other amazing clubs and virtual events. Maybe we’ll even see each other in class! Please feel free to reach out if I can help in any way. I am here to support you as we take this journey together.
You with me? Let’s get it. GO COUGS!

Cris Hylton
ASWSUG Director of Outreach; Club Leader
Cougs Get Lit-erary
Hi, y’all! I’m Cris, and I’m excited to serve as your ASWSUG director of outreach this year. As part of that role, I also have the opportunity to serve as the club leader of Cougs Get Lit-erary! Cougs Get Lit-erary uses the book club format to share stories from a variety of life experiences, bringing together perspectives from all corners of the Global Campus student body for authentic and engaging discussions.

Eleanor “Ellatora” Wildermuth
Student Ambassador
What’s the Byte, Cougs? My name is Eleanor Wildermuth, but online I usually go by Ellatora. I’m a returning student (from 2012!) majoring in management information systems with a GIS minor. Before coming back to WSU, I spent four years in immersive cybersecurity training. Cybersecurity isn’t just a career path to me; it’s a social necessity that touches every part of our lives, and I’m passionate about sharing practical cyber awareness and digital empowerment with Global Campus students.
After fifteen years away, I was relieved to find WSU’s sense of community unchanged. By simply showing up, Cougs naturally build camaraderie. For me, the more I joined clubs and events, the more it made sense to jump the fence and get directly involved. I’m thrilled to serve as a student ambassador and support fellow Cougs on their academic journeys.
Outside of classes, I’m doing independent research that’s uncovering how early conservation networks–especially the Mountaineers and the Civilian Conservation Corps–formed across the Pacific Northwest, using archival sources and GIS to bring forgotten relationships back into the spotlight. Based out of Spanaway, Washington, I’m can usually be found wrangling my natural disasters (kids), reading a good book, or playing on the Switch II when I’m not doing WSU things. If you ever want to connect or get involved, I’m always happy to chat. Let’s start a conversation.

Elizabeth Donais
Club Leader
Cougs and Cubs
Hello, fellow Global Cougs and Cubs!
II’m Elizabeth, a 38-year-old married mom to a wonderfully energetic kiddo. I’m currently working towards my BA in humanities after transferring from Clark College with an AA/DTA in communication studies. I’ve lived in Vancouver, Washington, my whole life, so you could say I’m a true Pacific Northwest Coug at heart.
I’m excited to be leading the Cougs and Cubs Club, and I plan to expand from the amazing foundation our last leader, alumna Aunjelique, built. This club is all about creating community for caregivers and their little ones. We host children’s book readings, “parents’ night” gatherings, and “Science Saturdays” where we explore fun experiments and hands-on lessons for the kiddos.
Whether you’re looking for family-friendly activities, meaningful conversations, or simply a place to connect with fellow caregiving students, you’re always welcome. You can join us regularly or drop in whenever you can to see just how awesome this community is.
When I’m not studying or chasing my kiddo around, you’ll usually find me gardening, diving into random craft projects, or showing up at just about every Global Campus event and club meeting there is.
I can’t wait to meet you and your Cubs!

Ethan Elliot
Club Leader
Ink and Pen Creative Writing
Hello, Cougars! My name is Ethan, and it’s an honor to meet you all! I am very excited to serve as the co-lead for Ink and Pen here at WSU Global Campus while I pursue my bachelor’s degree in English.
I have adored creative writing since I was little. My goal overall as the co-lead for Ink and Pen is to connect with and advocate for everyone who shares my passions in the world of writing while making other writers feel heard and appreciated when they participate in the club.
Stepping through the looking glass outside of school, I spend time with my friends and family, play video games, as well as taking on my other creativities like art and other crafts. And of course, I’m also writing poetry or short stories in my spare time whenever inspiration strikes and am currently chasing my dreams to become the next Lewis Carroll.
I’m looking forward to answering any questions you have or discussing all things creative writing!

Jessica Rick
Club Leader
Global Business Innovation and Network (GBIN)
Hi, everyone! I’m Jessica, but I go by Jessi. I am co-leading the Global Business & Innovation Network club with Alexiis. As a Global Campus Coug in my senior year, I am pursuing my bachelor’s degree in criminal justice and criminology with minors in at-risk youth, sociology, and health and society. I am also obtaining a certificate for organizational sustainable leadership. I’m eager to learn, contribute to building a supportive student community, and work together toward achieving our shared dreams through innovative business ventures.
I was born and raised in King/Pierce County and currently reside in Lakewood, Washington. I have five kids and five grandkids, plus three extra teenagers that are now my “bonus children.” We have a few cats and two dogs, too. I currently work full-time as an office manager and in accounts receivable for a pest control company in Seattle. My passion, however, is working with youth and families navigating the foster care system, as well as with survivors of domestic violence and trafficking. I am thinking about the law clerk program in Washington as an option instead of law school. One of my goals is to become a guardian ad litem.
When we have actual free time, my family and I enjoy getting out into nature and walking barefoot in the sand or going on “no destination” road trips and discovering new places.
I can’t wait to get to know everyone! If you ever need advice, a quick chat, or just a listening ear, feel free to reach out anytime. I try to live my life with one simple idea in mind—that we must come together to build a better world for the generations that follow ours. I’m inspired by my favorite Dr. Suess quote: “unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It’s not.”

Jocelyn Bray
Club Leader
Pre-Law Society Global
Hello, everyone! My name is Jocelyn, and I have been a WSU Global Campus student for my entire collegiate career. I am working on a double major in psychology and sociology with a minor in health and society. During the spring 2026 semester, I decided it was time to get involved with some of the different clubs at Global Campus, which led me to take on my current position as co-leader of the Pre-Law Society.
Becoming involved in different clubs and getting to know different faculty members has opened quite a few doors. I have made many excellent connections and gained valuable insights from peers and professors. Through the Pre-Law Society, I hope to be able to pay it forward and encourage others to get involved in their school and community.
When I am not working on school assignments, I am preparing for law school applications, studying to become an emergency medical responder (developing skills I plan to use for volunteer work in my local community), raising my two standard poodles, working as a pharmacy technician, and learning about my local court system, as well as expanding my knowledge base on state and federal laws.

Hi, I’m Katie! I’m a psychology major with a minor in human development, and I’m passionate about understanding people: how we grow, connect, and thrive. I serve as the president of the WSU Global Psychology Club and am also involved with Cougs Get Lit-erary, a WSU Global Campus group for booklovers!
I live in Camas, Washington, with my husband, three kids, pets, and sometimes even foster kittens, which means my house is often full of chaos and cuteness. I believe in building community, uplifting others, and making space for meaningful conversations, whether we’re talking mental health, favorite reads, or anything in between!

Leeaura Sanders
Club Leader
WSU Global Campus Psychology Club
Hi, I’m Leeaura! I’m a first-generation college student currently pursuing a double major in psychology and sociology with a minor in at-risk youth. I’m passionate about supporting children and families in my community, especially because of my own experiences growing up in a difficult environment. Those experiences inspired me to pursue a path focused on advocacy, compassion, and accessible care for underserved populations.
This year, I’ll be stepping into the role of vice president of the WSU Global Campus Psychology Club while also staying involved in several other campus organizations like the LGBTQ+ Club, Cougs & Cubs Club, and Cougs Get Lit-erary. I love building connections with others and being part of communities that encourage support, learning, and inclusion.
Outside of school and leadership roles, I balance my full-time career as a medical assistant in the Spokane, Washington area with my family life as a wife and mother to two amazing kids who keep life busy and full of joy. Our home is always lively with our dog, two cats, music playing somewhere in the background, and plenty of chaos. In my free time, I enjoy baking, cooking, crafting, reading good books, and spending quality time with family. My husband and I also love going to concerts whenever we get the chance, as music is a huge part of our home and our lives.

Student Ambassador; Club Leader
Cougs Get Lit-erary
Veterans and Military Affiliated Students (VMAS)
Hey, I’m Moana, a Global Campus student ambassador and human development major with minors in sociology and anthropology. As a military spouse originally from Maryland, I’ve had the unique opportunity to call many places home throughout my adult life. My journey has taken me through Colorado and North Carolina before settling here in Washington State. Through this experience, I’ve learned just how critical it is to have a strong support system, which I know many of my Global Campus peers can relate to.
Non-profit work is my jam, and I have such a soft spot for it. I currently work as a nonprofit consultant supporting military families in the Puget Sound region. Outside of that, I dedicate a significant portion of my free time to community outreach, personal development, and advocacy for causes close to my heart.
Here on Global Campus, I serve as the president of the WSU Global VMAS (Veterans and Military-Affiliated Students) Club, as a peer mentor for Cougs Get Lit-erary, and as a student representative on the CAHNRS For All Committee.
When I log off Zoom, you can find me reading a book, playing The Sims, crafting, or spending time with my family at football practices and games.
I look forward in connecting with you at a future event or meeting. Go Cougs!

Moses Estrada
Club Leader
Cougar Wellbeing Collective
Hello, everyone! My name is Moses Estrada, and I am a first-generation college student. I was born in Seattle, but I currently live in the central part of Washington. My parents are of Nicaraguan descent and migrated here during the 80s due to political tensions during that time
Some hobbies of mine are reading, writing, drawing, playing videogames, listening to music, singing, playing guitar, chess, and hiking. I also love trying new and diverse foods from various cultures. I absolutely love chocolate and have even been known to say: “if you ever wanna show me a good time, just give me some chocolate!” I am a fun guy who finds enjoyment in new experiences and learning!
I am currently involved in various research projects and multiple organizations, including the WSU student body government. My long-term goals are to obtain a PhD in clinical psychology and an MD in neurosurgery. I’m very interested in how the mid connects to the chemistry, biology, physiology, and anatomy of our bodies, and I hope to one day expand on existing research and help develop treatment methods to address things such as cancer, autism, mental health conditions, or physical problems like diabetes.
It is a pleasure and a privilege to be here, and I look forward to meeting every one of you.
Cougar Wellbeing Collective
Hello, everyone! My name is Moses Estrada, and I am a first-generation college student. I was born in Seattle, but I currently live in the central part of Washington. My parents are of Nicaraguan descent and migrated here during the 80s due to political tensions during that time
Some hobbies of mine are reading, writing, drawing, playing videogames, listening to music, singing, playing guitar, chess, and hiking. I also love trying new and diverse foods from various cultures. I absolutely love chocolate and have even been known to say: “if you ever wanna show me a good time, just give me some chocolate!” I am a fun guy who finds enjoyment in new experiences and learning!

Susana Naranjo-Pelayo
Student Ambassador; Club Leader
WSU Global LGBTQ+ Club
Hey there, fellow and future Cougs!
I’m Susana Naranjo-Pelayo, but you can call me Susi if you want. I’m currently studying human development with a minor in psychology here at WSU Global Campus. I’m super passionate about helping people feel supported, connected, and a little less alone during all the chaos that comes with school, work, life changes, and just… existing in 2026. Helping students find resources, interpreting, building community, and creating spaces where people can show up as themselves are the kinds of work I love most.
As a first-generation Xicana college student who was born and raised in Washington, I am deeply connected to my community and culture. Serving as a student ambassador and as the president of the LGBTQ+ Club means a lot to me because I know how important it is to have spaces where people feel welcomed instead of just tolerated. If you ever have ideas for clubs, events, or collaborations—or even just a “wait, this would actually be so fun” thought—please share them with me. I love hearing people’s ideas and helping make them happen.
In my spare time, I like doing nail art, translating, photography, listening to music, and pretending one more protein coffee will fix my life.
I’m really excited to connect with all of you this year. Please feel free to reach out if you have questions, need support, are interested in joining the LGBTQ+ Club, or just want someone to talk to. Online college can feel isolating sometimes, so I hope we can help make WSU feel a little more like home for each other. Go Cougs!

Trinity Kimmel
Wellness Online Student Ambassador
Hi, Cougs! I’m Trinity, and I’m currently studying early childhood education with a minor in environmental science.
I was born and raised in Michigan, but I now call Tacoma, Washington, home. I’m passionate about creating safe, inclusive environments—whether in a classroom, out learning about nature, or within our WSU community. I became a student ambassador to help build stronger connections and support systems across our Global Campus. If you have ideas for events, resources, or ways to make our community feel more connected, I’m always happy to chat!
Outside of class, you’ll usually find me hiking, paddleboarding, or documenting my adventures while road-tripping around the Pacific Northwest to chase any type of exploring that sparks curiosity.
I believe in the power of community, the importance of access and equity, and the magic that happens when people feel like they truly belong—both in academics and beyond.
Fun fact: I bring my hammock everywhere I go, so I’m always ready to relax wherever I am.
