Celia Balderas - Wallace West Resident Director

I graduated from Washington State University with a Bachelor of Arts. During my time at WSU, I was heavily involved with my community, while also working as a Greek Leadership Assistant for Fraternity and Sorority Life, and as an Office Assistant for Multicultural Student Services. Following my time at WSU, I went on to complete my Masters of Education with an emphasis in College Student Services and Administration, at Oregon State University.

During my time at Oregon State University I worked for the Dean of Students Office as a Student Care Specialist and Assistant Case Manager where I was introduced to the Housing and Residence Life world. Upon completing my masters I decided to accept an internship opportunity as the Summer Conference Intern here at the University of Idaho which led to my current role as the Resident Director for Wallace West and McConnell. During my free time, I enjoy traveling and spending quality time with friends and family. I am super excited to be joining the Vandal's family and returning to the Palouse.
