What I enjoy most about working with students:

What I enjoy most about working with students is the opportunity to provide a safe and supportive space as they navigate their college journey. I find it incredibly rewarding to offer guidance and encouragement, helping them overcome challenges and reach their goals. I also love learning from students; they bring fresh perspectives and new ideas that continually inspire and enrich my own understanding.
