What do you love about your job?
I love meeting with students one-on-one and helping them achieve their educational goals.  

How did your major help prepare you?
Seeing the big picture, understanding that all things are connected and that there are seasons/cycles/repeated patterns to watch for.  

Most memorable part of your studies?
One of my all-time favorite classes was Military History with Dr. Shepardson. He was an incredible professor. I was able to be an RA during my junior/senior year and that had a profound impact on my future career path. I was so lucky to be involved in many areas on campus that helped me find my way!  

What advice would you give future panthers?
Dive in. Try student clubs, go to speakers you have never heard of, try something that gets you out of your comfort zone each semester. Want to be a teacher?  Do anything extra that gets you into a classroom. 

Enjoy your college years!  They fly by...I have a list of things I wish I would have done...music, study abroad. Try as much as you can so you can get the best experience.
