  • My goal is for students to take ownership of their education by understanding their degree requirements, classes to fulfill them, and resources to help them be successful. I would like students to not only become self-sufficient in their academics, but leaders in their community and a good influence to their peers and classmates.
    • Master of Arts (M.A.): Educational Counseling and Student Personnel, San Jose State University 
    • Bachelor of Arts (B.A.): Sociology, San Francisco State University
  • Finding the right major and declaring into Sociology. During my first years of College I was unsure about what I wanted to study. My first major was film. I then changed to Business Administration. Both of these majors did not feel like a good fit and were not things I was really interested in. I visited a counselor to get some major advice and he recommended Sociology. Sociology was a great fit and I ended up loving the major. Once I got into the right major, I felt more engaged in College and like a part of the community.

    • Running
    • Skateboarding
