Admissions Representative Profile

Rigo Núñez, Director of Admissions

Rigo Núñez joined National College of Natural Medicine as director of admissions in 2006. He graduated from University of Massachusetts in 1996 and has been working in college admissions ever since. Rigo is always there to support his counselors as they find America’s best and brightest future NDs.

Rigo is the proud father of twin daughters, who will turn three years old in a few months. When not chasing after them or shaping the future of NCNM, Rigo spends his free time playing a variety of sports, salsa drumming and renovating his home.

I like that the personality of NCNM is laidback, supportive and cooperative – yet rigorous. Added bonus: our campus offers easy access to good food; I can just go for a walk and be in the center of downtown Portland in minutes.

Kerrie Gipe, Admissions Counselor

Kerrie Gipe began her journey at National College of Natural Medicine (NCNM) in April of 2007. Today, after hundreds of applications and thousands of miles "on the road," she continues to be an enthusiastic supporter of NCNM and natural medicine.

Kerrie came to Portland, Ore., by way of Orange County, Calif. She graduated from Oregon State University in 2002 with Bachelor of Arts degrees in American Literature and American History. In addition to working with prospective students and applicants at NCNM, Kerrie is responsible for collecting data for institutional research and publications, such as The Princeton Review and GradSource. She is active in the NCNM community, participating in the DCI FLI Cook-Off and reciting Shel Silverstein poems in NCNM's Annual No Talent Show.

Portland is one of the greatest cities I have ever seen. I'd describe it as sustainable, inclusive and quirky - all things I would like to say about myself!
