Profile
What are you currently studying?
I am studying for a Masters in Business Administration and Masters of Science in Sport Management.
What do you enjoy most about working with UT undergrads?
Hearing their story and how they got to where they are now. It is always interesting to see the different journey's that students have taken to get to college and I want to help enhance their experience by providing quality advice that will get them through not only college, but the rest of their lives.
What is the most important advice you would give new students?
Being able to identify distractions that will take away your positive experiences while in school and understanding how to avoid those distractions will help maximize your potential and bring optimal success
Why should students take advantage of the SSC?
It is a great place to come and get advice on anything concerning UT and how to be successful. Students are also encouraged to come and gain more information about extracurriculars on campus so they can find ways to be involved, as well as help make the campus environment a more personalized experience for them.
