About Skyler Paltell

After graduation, Skyler moved to Colorado to begin a career in college admission at Colorado College, a small, highly selective liberal arts college in Colorado Springs, CO. Though she loves her job and the adventures that post-graduate life brings, Skyler misses W&M every day and hopes to soon return.
