Throughout my college experience, there was someone always available to help me with various things. I chose advising to continue on with providing not only assistance but building relationships with students as they come in. Knowing people feel comfortable coming to advising not only for academic information but life situations as well makes me feel accomplished in my role.

Advising allows me to collaborate with students so I can help them achieve their dreams, goals, and aspirations. I believe education also happens outside of the classroom, and advising allows me to work closely with students so that I can impart knowledge of skills and habits that can benefit them in college and beyond.
