Biography

A native Oregonian, Aurora grew up in Troutdale and while growing up she enjoyed being active and playing various sports.  Aurora knew she wanted to make a difference when she graduated from Portland State University with a degree in public health.  Starting from the ground up with young students made sense to her as a high impact way to connect children to supports and tools that will aid them in their growth, learning and development.  Passionate about youth empowerment and helping others meet their needs, Aurora joined the LCMCS team in 2021. In her free time, Aurora enjoys singing, playing board games, taking walks and reading. A Harry Potter fan, Aurora sorts herself into Gryffindor.
