Counseling, Therapy, & School Psychology, Professional Mental Health Counseling program
Hello! I’m Quinn (they/them), a second-year PMHC student focusing on LGBTQ+ clients. I’m originally from Minneapolis, MN and have lived in Portland for nearly 15 years. I’m a year-round bike commuter, enthusiastic cook/eater, textile artist, and social justice advocate. Outside of school, I’m an organizer/volunteer with Black & Pink PDX, Villages NW, and the PDX Free Fridges, orgs that serve incarcerated LGBTQ+ people, elders, and people experiencing food insecurity, respectively. Ask me about how you can get involved in the Portland community!
I’m excited to welcome new and returning students to campus this fall and hope to serve as a trusted liaison between the student body, faculty, and administration. Given the demands of graduate school, I aim to ensure that students receive excellent instruction and services, timely and transparent communication, and ample opportunities for growth, collaboration, and service. I welcome the chance to connect with you! Please reach out with questions or ideas: quinnfrancis@lclark.edu

I recently graduated from Lewis & Clark’s College with my bachelor’s in Sociology & Anthropology and a minor in Middle East & North African studies.

I enjoy going on hikes, baking, and playing board games. As a representative, my aim is to create open dialogues between our interdisciplinary practices and support the effort of implementing social justice and equity practices when creating programming. I would love the opportunity to meet you all and if you would like to reach out, you can find me at the office of the Vice President for Student Life (on the undergraduate campus) or email me, dpacheco@lclark.edu, to find a time!
