A first-generation college graduate, Dr. Minor holds a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of Washington, as well as a master’s degree and Ph.D. in Social Ecology from the University of California, Irvine. Her prior administrative leadership experience spans both Oregon and California, and she brings many years of teaching experience in psychology, sociology, teacher preparation, and business human relations to her work.
