Why did you become an academic advisor?

The path from start to finish in achieving a degree can be daunting and a bit convoluted at times.  As an academic advisor it is my responsibility and pleasure to help students navigate through college so they can earn their undergraduate degree.

Why/how did you decide what you wanted to major in in college?

My boss at the time told me that I should change my major because computer systems are very hard. I wanted to prove her wrong so I stayed with the major not knowing exactly what to expect.

 

Did you face any challenges while in college?

I had to work full time while attending college with no family support. I knew I had to persevere so I didn't quit, I worked hard and made no excuses.
