Shannon Berge

Originally from the Bay Area, I moved to Humboldt for the beautiful coastline, the vibrant small-town art scene, and to pursue a bachelor’s degree in Art Education from Cal Poly Humboldt. More recently, I earned a master’s degree in Education, with an emphasis in Ethnic Studies, which led me to my current position as an Academic Advisor.

When I'm not advising students, I use my design skills to develop advising communications and resources, including an ongoing series of fun DARS stickers. In my free time, you can usually find me at one of our local beaches, taking photos and painting.

I have been part of the Cal Poly Humboldt community for over 20 years, working in arts promotion and Student Services. I am proud to be a first-generation college student who now has the amazing opportunity to help new students navigate college.
