Auriana Myles first joined the CISNT team as a grant intern in October of 2023 before graduating with her M. Ed. in Higher Education Administration from the University of North Texas. With six years of experience in student affairs under her belt, she returned to the organization in 2024 as the Development Associate for the Resource Development team. CISNT’s mission aligns with Auriana’s passion for empowering student success and surrounding students with a community of support. She knows that student development and persistence in school require a network of caring adults and community resources, so she is eager to help students get the vital support they need all year long.

As a Development Associate, Auriana’s primary roles include assisting with fundraising and community engagement activities, campaign development, promotion, and management, and donor stewardship. Auriana plans to further the CIS mission by engaging with the public to raise awareness and support for the organization. 

In her free time, Auriana enjoys competitive boxing and tennis. She loves spending time with her friends and family and attending jazz festivals. To wind down after a long day, she spends her time reading mystery novels or watching true crime.
