Why do you like working with students?
What I appreciate about working with student is the fact that things constantly evolve. I love engaging with students to learn how they are feeling, what they want to learn and providing them with the tools needed to practice self-advocacy. I particularly love seeing the overall journey of students from their freshmen year through graduation.

However, one memory that stands out so far is the amazing energy from all of the phenomenal SOAR leaders who greeted me at the door when I walked in for the first day of SOAR, their smiles, songs and laughter is a memory that will forever be near to my heart.

Why do you like working with students?
Throughout my collegiate career, there was little to no assistance for myself. Being a first generation college student was most definitely an achievement. However, my family could only support me as much as they could. I enjoy being that person that I needed throughout my college experience for current and upcoming college students. Always pushing students to their fullest potential and ensuring that they create and maintain that exceptional growth mindset.
Favorite Dillard Memory:
I have yet to complete a week of service here at the great DU to have a favorite memory just yet. As of now, it would have to be coming on such an amazing and welcoming team. From the first day, I have been welcomed by my team, students, and other departments. It’s evidently obvious that I made the right choice by choosing Dillard University.
