Summary
I’m a student advocate with a genuine passion for supporting others, building relationships, and serving my community. I focus on creating genuine connections with students in hopes of gaining their trust and helping them become more aware of their experiences, understand what might be getting in the way of their potential, and help to guide them in making more thoughtful, intentional choices.
I currently work with a wide range of students, representing varied academic levels, financial situations, and cultural identities. My strengths include empathetic communication, problem-solving, and helping to create student success plans. In past roles, I’ve worked to create positive change by connecting students with helpful resources, promoting inclusivity, and helping to foster a supportive learning environment.
