They/Them/Theirs
Marrakech was born in Jackson, WY, spending a portion of their early schooling in Boulder, CO. They got their B.A. degrees from Seattle University in Environmental Studies and Public Affairs. Marrakech’s passion centers on empowering college students in taking control of their undergraduate experience and celebrating the change-making work they do. After graduating from the West coast they returned to the mountain West here at MSU to continue on their journey of mentorship and guidance. They are ecstatic at the opportunity to support students through the Office of Student Engagement and enjoy the process of community building here in Montana.
When they aren’t working, Marrakech is either out in the wilderness adventuring or enjoying the creature comforts of town. You can find them climbing in Gallatin Canyon, skiing at Bridger, or rafting on the Yellowstone river on the weekends! They also enjoy reading a good book (usually a memoir or fantasy adventure) at the park or going downtown for a good meal with friends. Marrakech is also involved in Bozeman, sitting on a few community organization boards; something that fills them up with joy and gets them out meeting the wonderful people of this town.
