Looking back on my experience as a first-gen college student, I remember needing support and direction but was often afraid to ask for help.  Now as an academic mentor and coach, I work side-by-side with students to help them navigate the college system with compassion and encouragement so they never feel alone.

As a first-gen commuter student who worked part-time through college, balancing time and energy was an important skill that I had to learn quickly and independently.  I strive to take those experiences and use them to create a nurturing space for students to explore their potential in the classroom and beyond.

As the first in my family to go to college, I was eager to learn in my plant-related classes, a procrastinator in English classes, anxious in chemistry and clueless about financial aid and college life. Now, as an academic mentor and an academic coach, I can support your path to graduation--and your transition to a new career or continued education!

As a student, I had a hard time adjusting to studying in college, but I grew to enjoy group study sessions with my classmates. Now I use those same teamwork skills with my colleagues to enthusiastically assist students to up their game and get what they want out of their college learning.

As a student who needed to work to pay for my college education by myself, I had to balance multiple jobs with my studies and commuting from my parents’ home for my first two years.  I am really happy to be in a position now to help students connect with services and realize their own dreams and goals.
