Meet your University Transfer/Career Center Team!
Hello! My name is Kate Porter, and I have worked at Cuesta College as a counselor for over twenty years. I also serve as Coordinator for our University Transfer/Career Center, and host many of our transfer workshops. I love my job, and consider it a privilege to be able to work with students from all backgrounds. I believe that a college education is transformative, and leads to greater opportunities and overall life satisfaction. It is an honor to be able to journey with students (like you!) through their education at Cuesta College and support students in accomplishing their educational goals. When I am not working you might find me hiking, at the beach, working in my garden or enjoying time with my family. Please know that I am here for you, and hope you will always feel free to reach out to me with any questions, or just stop in and say hello!
Hello! My name is Ruth Hansen and I am the University Transfer & Career Services Specialist. I am here to help you with any transfer and/or career questions you may have. I am a graduate of Cuesta College and am now pursuing a Bachelors degree in Psychology at Columbia College (a Cuesta College university partner). I am here to help! Please contact me with any questions you may have. If I don't have the answer, I will find it or direct you to the person that does. You can reach me by messaging through Canvas, emailing transfer@cuesta.edu, by calling (805)546-3162, or stop in and see me in room 3131 in the Student Services building!
