As a Graduate Assistant, I am dedicated to providing a meaningful student advising experience through a student-centered approach. I aim to create a safe, supportive, and resourceful environment where students can seek guidance while navigating their academic and personal journeys. It is essential for me that students feel valued, are informed about the resources available, and leave our meetings feeling confident in their ability to achieve their academic goals. My ambition as a Graduate Assistant is to expand my experiences to transition into an Academic Advisor role, allowing me to continue my passion for supporting students throughout their academic journeys. I am excited to meet you and to support you during this exciting time!
