Profile
What are you currently studying?
Currently, I'm in the College Student Personnel master's program and hope to work in student affairs after I graduate.
What do you enjoy most about working with UT undergrads?
Generally, college is a pretty positive and fun environment. I love building relationships with undergrads, helping them find their passions and reaching their potential. When students do run into a challenge, I get to help them through it. I get the chance to make a difference, and that's all I'm looking for when I come to work.
What is the most important advice you would give new students?
Whatever you put into something is what you'll get out of it. Work hard in a class, and you will walk away with a feeling of accomplishment. Put a lot of time and effort into your relationships and organizations, and you will see the amazing impact they have on your life.
Why should students take advantage of the SSC?
Transitioning into a new class, year or school is not always easy. Let the SSC provide you, individually, with the resources to make your college experience a success!
