What’s your favorite part of your job?
My favorite part of the job is assisting students in all the areas that they seek me out for. I also love collaborating on programming with our students.

If you could give students one piece of advice to carry them through their time here, what would it be?
College is the period of time where you will learn the most about your adult self in such a concentrated period of time. Take full advantage of the opportunity you’ve been afforded to learn and grow knowing college is one of the last times you will be able to do so and still be supported by an extensive community, so be bold in your efforts.
You have held and are going to hold various positions in your lives, and those positions each have their own spheres of influence. If we are in agreement that positionality leads to influence, then the question isn’t so much whether you are going to be of influence, but what positions are you going to hold?
