Keela Cooper
Program Administrator
As the program administrator for the Ph.D. in Computing, I help the program Co-Directors with the management and administrative aspects of the program. I assist students and faculty with advising, proposal and defense support, and serve as the first point of contact for any questions about the program.
In my free time, I love playing board games, dancing with my dance family at Starbelly School of Dance, and spending time with my husband and our two fur kids.

Brianna Siftar
Student Admin Assistant
Three years ago, I moved from my hometown in Alaska in search of a better education. When I started at Boise State University, I found a job with the Office of Continuous Improvement in the Universal Financial Services Department. There I improved accounting practices in Oracle Financial Cloud for Boise State. When I was admitted into the College of Business and Economics, I decided to major in Finance which lead me to apply for my current position with the Computing PhD Program where I manage finances for the program such as completing payroll activities as well as admission processes for future PhD Students. I also help a lot with the functionality of the PhD Computing website.
