I truly believe in the power of getting involved. As an undergraduate, my own experience in student organizations shaped my college experience and ultimately inspired me to pursue a career in higher education. I’ve seen how these organizations can help students find their people, build community, explore their interests, and create meaningful experiences outside the classroom. I’d be excited to support students in those experiences and be someone they can turn to for encouragement, ideas, and guidance. As an advisor, I’d love to support students in those experiences—being a resource when they need one, while giving them the space to lead, grow, and make the organization their own.I am a first generation college student. I am the first in my family to graduate high school (everyone else went back later for their G.E.D.). My father was incarcerated my entire childhood and I feel strongly about access to education. I was a Pell-Grant student when I was in college. I went to a women's college (Smith College). I love working with students who want to make the world a better place. I love music, reading, and college sports. One of my favorite things professionally is helping a student or a student group achieve a goal, especially when that goal is helping other students feel more connected.
