President - Apolonia Martinez

Hi my name is Apolonia Martinez and I am your ASLC-PC President for this upcoming year! I am from California but have been going to school in Oregon for the last three years. I attended McMinnville campus for my first two years before coming to Portland. I do not know what branch of nursing I would like to pursue but enjoying a taste of every clinical experience. I am a Patho/Pharm tutor and currently work in the computer lab so please if you see me around campus do not be afraid to say hi! I am excited for this upcoming school year and am here to help in anyway I can! Campus is my second home so you'll be seeing me around a lot! :)

Treasurer - Emilie Fields

Hi! My name is Emilie and I am honored to be your Fall 2013-Spring 2014 treasurer! I attended the McMinnville campus for my prerequisites and I am now going on my fourth and final year of nursing school.  It has gone by so fast, but I can't think of a better way to finish up then by being involved in ASLC-PC.  I am from a small town called Sublimity, Oregon, so living in Portland is something totally different, but I have enjoyed it! I also enjoy spending time with my family and friends out on the lake, drawing, reading and just having a good time! I have loved learning how to be the best nurse I can be and can't wait to get started!

Secretary - Shelby von Borstel

Hey everyone!! My name is Shelby and I am your ASLC-PC Secretary :) I am part of the Fall 2012 cohort and am excited to be graduating this next May.  I attended OSU for 2 years (GO BEAVS!) before transferring & moving to the big city of Portland. I love everything about nursing and am most interested in OB and Peds! My ultimate goal is to become a Family Nurse Practitioner. Besides my immense love for school ;), I enjoy anything outdoors (running, hiking, riding my horses, playing sports, etc.), reading & spending time with family & friends.  Fun facts about me: In 2009 I was a Fair & Rodeo Queen, I am colorblind (only 1 out of 200 women---it’s pretty uncommon), and my graduating high school class, representing an entire county, had 26 kids in it (I’m a small town farm girl!). I hope I get a chance to meet many of you; feel free to bring me your concerns, ideas, and questions for ASLC.  I am here to serve you! May you all have a wonderful school year :)

Vice President of Programming - Dorothy Sterling

Hey y'all! My name is Dorothy Sterling and I am in the Fall 2012 cohort here at Linfield's School of Nursing. I was born and raised in Texas and moved up to the great northwest (specifically Seattle, WA) to finish up high school and complete my pre-requisites at the Linfield campus in McMinnville. I am most interested in Oncology nursing but I am excited to try out all the fields. I live on campus and I hope my fantastic Programming Board and I can bring you some great events that can take your mind off the stress of nursing while still hanging out with those great and supportive nursing friends.

Programming Chair (Health & Wellness) - Jenna Osborne

Hello! My name is Jenna Osborne and I am a senior from the Fall 2012 cohort and your Heath and Wellness Chair.  I currently live in Salem, Oregon with my wonderful husband of over 3 years.  I received my first Bachelor’s degree from Portland State in 2009.  It feels like I’ve been in school forever, but I am thankful it has brought me here.  I am not sure exactly which branch of nursing I want to go into as of yet, but I am enjoying each experience as it comes and want to go on for my masters after graduation.  In addition to nursing, I have a passion for health and fitness.  I love running and racing and just this year have taken up triathlons.  In my spare time you’ll find me trying new recipes in the kitchen, traveling, reading a book, or with my husband and friends.  I’m excited to be a part of Student Government and to be able to represent my fellow students.

Programming Chair (Multicultural) - Katelyn Vander Velden

Hey everyone! My name is Katelyn Vander Velden and I am your new Cultural Program Chair! I am part of the Fall 2012 cohort and will be graduating in the summer of 2014. I was born and mostly raised in Portland, Oregon, and even though I plan to travel throughout my career as a nurse, I will always think of this city as my home. I graduated from the University of Oregon with a degree in Spanish, and I am hoping to find career opportunities in South and Central America where I can put my Spanish to good use. I am excited to be a part of this year’s student government, and I plan to provide fun cultural activities that will also help us to learn and prepare ourselves for the amazing journey we have ahead of us. Let’s work together to make this year great! Go Ducks and Go Wildcats!

Programming Chair (Communication) - Bryn Davies

Hi everyone! My name is Bryn Davies and I am a senior here at the Linfield-Good Samaritan School of Nursing. I was raised in the heart of Central Oregon and couldn't dream of a better place to be from. I attended the McMinnville campus for three years before making my way up to Portland. I couldn't be more excited about this upcoming year- One step closer toward my dream of becoming a nurse, and one step deeper into my incredible Linfield experience. Linfield has been everything I hoped it would be and I became a part of ASLC-PC in hopes to make impact on campus and in the lives of classmates here at Linfield.

Club Director - Catie Helbling

Hello!  I'm Catie, the Club Director for the 2013-2014 school year.  I grew up in Canby, Oregon, where I went to school from 1st-12th grade.  I lived in Silverton, OR for my senior year of high school but made the commute to Canby to finish up school with my friends.  My first year of college was spent at Western Oregon University as a Music Major.  About half way through, I realized my true calling was nursing.  I applied to the Linfield Mac campus and started there in the fall of 2011.  After completing all of my prerequisites in one year, I moved to the Portland Campus to start my nursing education!  I teach music part time at Tigard High School because though I feel the nursing call, I still love music!  You can often find me playing guitar and serenading people!  I will be graduating this spring and can't wait to see what the future holds for me as a nurse!  I am excited to be part of the ASLC-PC team and to work with the many clubs we are so lucky to have at our school.  Make sure you join a club and get involved!

Committee Director -  Bri Bledsoe

Hello! My name is Briana Bledsoe, but I like to go by Bri! I am graduating in the Spring of 2014 and I am thrilled to be your ASLC-PC Committee Director. I grew up in the small farming community of Silverton, OR and attended Linfield’s McMinnville campus before coming to Nursing School. My focus in nursing is Pediatrics, because an amazing peds nurse saved my life when I was 12 years old (Nurse Jody- You’re the best!!) As a patient, I got to see firsthand how much direct care nurses get to do and I decided that pediatrics was the place for me! I love working with children and their families. I rarely have free time, but when I do I love to sing, volunteer, snuggle babies, and work out! Late summer of 2014 I get to marry my sweet fiancé Ethan (The best Firefighter/ Paramedic around!) so I’m also on Pinterest and frequently planning our wedding! Please say hello if you see me on campus; I am more than happy to help you!

Class Senator: December 2013 (Spring 2012 Start) - Amber Bernosky

Hello, I am the class senator for the Spring '12 start cohort! I officially only have a year left! I have enjoyed my time at Linfield and this last semester I was very involved with my cohort and realized that I was sad that I didn't get involved from the begining, so when the opportunity presented itself I took it! I was born in northern Nevada where I have spent half of my life then moved to and graduated from high school in Salem, where I still currently live and make the brave commute each day. I also enjoy running, biking, crafting, and sleeping.
