Advising Philosophy: As an academic advisor my overall goal is to help students navigate their academic career while exploring their educational and career goals. My goal for my advising session is to be an educational experience where students connect where they are now with where they want to be and plan what steps need to be taken to get them there. I consider myself not only as an advisor, but also has a life-long scholar. I take interest in advising students, and the administration of advisors, and improving the quality and effectiveness of my advising and the advising performed in my constituency. I have a natural curiosity about advising, recruitment, and research projects to learn more about the process and the environment.
