Biography —
"Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive." -Howard Thurman
I chose to work in Higher Education because…
It is inspiring to help with and witness those light bulb moments with students. I really enjoy hearing people's stories and goals and helping them to manage the logistics, anxieties, opportunities, etc. that come with those goals. I also feel that working in higher ed, I have endless opportunities to keep learning for myself, through events, relationships I make, and courses I've taken or taught.
What did you want to be when you were growing up?
Olympic figure skater, Egyptologist, or astronaut
Advice to college students:
Don’t worry about having your life all planned out; you will encounter opportunities you can’t even imagine or plan for, so have a rough idea and be flexible!
