      "I've always been interested in working with students. Students are so excited and energetic about the future, and I love being around that kind of positivity. I will also never forget the impact my admissions officer had on me in supporting me through my whole decision-making process. She was such a source of encouragement and a great resource; everyone should have someone like that while making such a big decision. I would love to be that safe space for prospective students."
