What do you value about Academic Advising?

As an Associate Academic Advisor, I value the opportunity to empower and support students on their academic journeys. I believe in creating a student-centered environment where individuals feel heard, respected, and empowered to make informed decisions about their education. Building trusting relationships and fostering open communication are paramount to my advising approach. I prioritize continuous learning and growth to stay abreast of best practices and effectively guide students through challenges and opportunities. Ultimately, I find fulfillment in helping students navigate their academic paths, overcome obstacles, and achieve their goals, contributing to their academic development.

Why do you like supporting students?

Supporting students is deeply rewarding because it allows me to witness their growth, resilience, and achievements firsthand. I value the opportunity to make a positive impact on their lives by providing guidance, encouragement, and practical assistance as they navigate their academic endeavors. Each interaction with a student presents a unique opportunity to contribute to their personal and academic development, whether it’s helping them overcome challenges, explore new opportunities, or celebrate their successes. Being able to empower students to reach their full potential and achieve their goals fills me with a sense of purpose and fulfillment that motivates me to continue supporting them wholeheartedly.
