Regina smiles in front of a scenic landscape
We’re so excited to introduce Regina, our new Support Services Program Manager! Originally from Detroit, Michigan, she has lived in many cities, states, and countries and has recently made the move to Bellingham, where she has since joined the FuturesNW team!
As a first-generation college graduate, Regina knows firsthand the transformative power of education. With a Bachelor's degree in Agricultural Business Economics, she began her career in corporate management before following her love for reading and writing to earn a Master’s in English & Language Literature/Poetry.
Her teaching experience spans both the U.S. and abroad, including her English as a Second Language (ESL) work in Mongolia, Costa Rica, and China where she taught college-level and adult students. Before joining FuturesNW, Regina was designing curricula for English Language Arts (ELA) and ESL programs, working with primary and secondary students.
Outside of work, she enjoys cycling, hiking, reading, watching movies, and spending time with family and friends. Lately, she's been exploring Bellingham, immersing herself in its charming cafes, architecture, and of course, nature! A fun fact about Regina is that she went on a spiritual retreat with former colleagues in the Gobi Desert of Mongolia.
Regina’s work is rooted in her strong moral compass and belief that everyone deserves opportunity and peace. This drive fuels her passion for the work we do at FuturesNW– helping students navigate post-secondary pathways and ensuring they have the tools to succeed.
We’re thrilled to have Regina on board and can’t wait to make a difference together!
