"Growing up, I was lucky enough to have a few very influential people in my life who encouraged me and called out the best in me. One of those people was a teacher I had in high school, and the other was my uncle. I am so grateful that those two men took time out of their lives to pour into me and help me make some difficult life decisions along the way. I want to do the same for students who are just beginning to get to know themselves and have a lot of life in front of them. I want to be a resource for students and a safe place to land. I am so excited for the opportunity to get to know students and walk with them through their schooling experience."
