Being late to my orientation, missing vital information and not being informed on what was missed, she learned quickly to ask questions. From her experiences, she grew a love assisting students in their college journey to ensure that htey are well informed.
As a Success Coach, she hopes to the questions you have, answer the questions you don't know to ask yet, and to be your personal guide to provide you with the insight needed to be successful.
