Lindsey Morris
Director
I have worked at Green River since 2007 in various positions. I started as a student in the CLEO program, then continued working part-time in Running Start while I completed my bachelor's degree in Elementary Education. After learning that wasn't the right career for me, I started my Green River career in Recruitment & Outreach. From my experience in Outreach, I developed a passion for student access and helping students succeed. I earned her master's degree in 2012 and became an advisor in Running Start in fall 2013. I also fill my weekends training for half marathons and spending time with my two boys.
Natalie Ramsey
Advisor
I completed high school at Everett Community College as an adult student and continued on with an Associate degree program before transferring to the UW to study Art. I continued to study Art at Parson's School of Design in New York before returning to Seattle to complete a Masters in Education at Antioch University. I have worked in a variety of educational settings throughout my career including: behavioral health, social services and K-12 education in schools. I live with my granddaughter in Tacoma where I am restoring a Victorian house in the Hilltop neighborhood and working in my art studio.
Kyle Stevenson
Assistant Director
I began working at Green River College in 2017 as an adjunct instructor in the Social Science Division. I joined the Running Start Office in 2021. I earned my bachelor's degree from Gonzaga University and have a master's degrees from the University of Oregon and the University of California Riverside. I love the opportunity to do long-term planning with Running Start students and see how plans change or crystallize as students navigate their path at Green River and beyond. I love being outdoors with my family and watching my favorite sports teams.
Rosaline Palaita
Program Specialist
My name is Rosaline and I serve our Running Start students as the front desk lead. Before joining our Running Start Team, I began my journey with GRC via our Kent Campus as a Program Coordinator and have had the honor of working with students since 2017 here at Green River College. During my free time I love spending time with my family, watching football and trash talking Seahawks fans as a San Francisco 49er Faithful! #GoNiners
Victoria Chandler
Advisor
I grew up in the Auburn community. I have worked with students in the Kent and Auburn
School Districts and community since 2007 in various supportive roles. Some of my
experiences include office support, being a marching band coach, and a school bus
driver to name a few. I completed my bachelor's degree recently from one of Green
River's BAS programs. When I am not at work, I will be out hiking on trails, playing
tabletop games with friends, out in my garden, or playing musical instruments with
my friends.

Hi! My name is Loree Rhyne. I was born and raised in South Korea, went to college
in Alabama, and am now very happy to call Washington my home. I have worked at Green
River since 2022 and joined the Running Start team in 2024. In my free time, I really
love reading, traveling, tabletop gaming, and spending time with my husband and our
two cats.
Jenny Irwin
Program Assistant
Hello! I joined Running Start in 2022. But I learned about it much earlier when my own kids attended Green River in the Running Start Program. Previously I was a computer programmer, a paraeducator in special education and in an elementary library. I love reading, cats, spending time in nature, and yarn/fiber arts such as knitting, spinning yarn and weaving.
