Humans of LBCC

Kelsey Elliot

 Kelsey Elliot, a Corvallis Native, is attending LBCC pursuing her Nutritional Degree.

She is a 200 YRT Certified Yoga Instructor, currently working at Pacific Yew Yoga in Albany, Oregon and will be soon instructing at LBCC starting Winter Term.

At the moment most of her classes are located at the Corvallis Benton Center, but she is thinking about enrolling at OSU, but doesn't want to be shifted into a physical therapy degree. She hopes to go to an acupuncture school after pursuing her studies in nutrition.

I asked her why she teaches yoga and her response was pretty inspiring for anyone when choosing their career path. " Why do I do it... Because I love it. And they said if you do what you love you'll never work a day in your life. "

Her hope is to bring a more holistic awareness to the people in our world. "People don't know as much about our bodies as they could, so I'm going back to school to help others build confidence in themselves, and going to school also helps me build confidence in myself. "

Korina Rayburn is one our theatre students here at LBCC

She is a 2nd year student, commuting from Corvallis, working at both the EDT (Equality Diversity Inclusion Center) and at First Resort here on campus.

The EDT used to be called the Diversity Achievement Center, but starting this year they have chosen to combine groups in order to provide a more united front for students and faculty involved with our equality and diversity events.

Working at the EDT has given her a place to commune with like minded individuals while enhancing her purpose here at LBCC.

Korina is planning on transferring to UC Pacific to finish out her Theatre Major, and is debating on additionally minoring in dance.
