Q&A
What do you enjoy most about working with UT undergrads?
What I enjoy most is supporting students as they navigate their college journey! I love being curious about each person’s unique strengths and challenges, and helping them discover individualized solutions that empower their growth.
What is the most important advice you would give new students?
I don’t usually like to give one-size-fits-all advice, because I feel that each student’s journey is unique. What I like to encourage instead is authenticity! When students bring their genuine selves, it helps provide a strong foundation that we can work with to find the best paths forward.
What is your favorite place on campus?
The Baker School- Clearly the best named building on campus!
Why should students take advantage of the ASC?
The ASC is one of the many great resources on UT’s campus. We provide individualized support to help students thrive, and we can also connect them with other helpful resources across campus.
