How Can I Help?
Personal + Social
My office is a safe place for students to come talk about anything and everything that may be bothering them in their personal and social lives. My goal is to make sure everyone feels comfortable and supported when they come see me.
Academic
Students are welcome to come visit with me about any and all academic concerns, whether they simply need a schedule change, or they're having a hard time with time management or organizational skills.
College + Career
Thinking about the future can be scary, but I'm here to tell you it doesn't have to be! I'm here to answer questions about colleges, college classes, what to take in high school to prepare you for a specific major or career path and everything in between!
