Jacob

Major: ITM
Class Level: Junior
Home City/State: Boise, ID

Hi I am Jacob Yoneda and I was born and raised as a Bronco and in the Boise area. I graduated from Rocky Mountain High School in Meridian, ID in 2010 and went to Uni. of Montana-Western for a year to go to school and to play football which was a great experience to have but could not stand the cold. So I came back to be a full time student at Boise State to work on my ITM (Information Technology Management) major. GO BRONCOS!

JakeJake

Major: Computer Science
Class Level: Sophomore
Home City/State: Idaho City, ID

Hi, I’m Jake. Born in raised here in Idaho, I grew up in a tiny little town in the mountains, graduated school there, and here I am with a job and declared major at BSU. Aside from working and learning here at Boise State, I’ve been playing guitar for several years and do some songwriting and audio production, and I really want to be a guitar teacher. I also regularly practice parkour, a discipline of movement and mental strength. It’s the “flight” in “fight or flight”, if you will. I really don’t have a plan for life, but since there’s no manual, that seems to be the best way to go. Have a good day, and God bless.

Class Level: Sophomore
Home City/State: Boise, ID

My name is Katelin. I graduated from Boise State in December 2012 with a Bachelors in Business Administration. After six months in the ‘real world’ working in accounting I may not be cut out for the business world after all. I have returned to Boise State to get a second Bachelors degree in Nursing. I have two shih tzu puppies; Lizzie is 6, Rosie is 2 and they are so sweet! (cute too of course!) In my free time I enjoy camping, baking (I make custom wedding cakes), scrapbooking, reading and taking my dogs on walks. I worked as a lab assistant while I was attaining my business degree and I am very pleased to be back! With all my time on campus over the years I am well versed in the use of my.BoiseState, BroncoMail, Blackboard and the Boise State website. Please do not hesitate to ask if you have any questions with campus applications, software use, or even how to find your classroom, I am happy to help.

I’ve been a computer lab assistant for a little over two years now and if you ever need help, don’t hesitate to ask! I know how frustrating it can be to learn the ins and outs of Boise State’s website, software used on campus, etc., so I’m happy to help students who have encountered the same problems that I have.

Home City/State: Nampa, ID

Hello, my name is Sara. I’ve been working in the Multipurpose Lab since 2008, when I started pursuing my degree here at Boise State. I am very shy, so I understand asking for help can be difficult, but I am more than happy to help any way I can. I want to be a friendly face that helps make your day, and time here at Boise State, a little easier.

When I am not working or in class I love attempting to bake, going on picnics, and photography adventures… among other things.
