Why did you become an academic advisor?
Throughout my journey in higher education, I always found myself naturally filling the role of a mentor at various capacities. It was not until recently that I became aware of this and found myself enjoying the many conversations I would have with students on campus. In my capacity as an Academic Advisor, I hope to become a resource to students who are navigating higher education for the first time.
