Your Purpose. Our Mission.

I believe going the extra mile is essential for student success. To me, this means being available and approachable. I want students to feel comfortable coming to speak with me. I enjoy checking in on students to see how life is going, and I always communicate opportunities students have to talk to me outside of class.
