Providing you with a comfortable space to talk to a professor

I get it. Visiting your professors during office hours can be nerve racking. But not here.

When seeking advice, college students must often choose between well intentioned but inexperienced academic advisors and experienced but disinterested professors. And it is not uncommon for students to feel they cannot be honest with their advisors and professors out of fear that their questions might disappoint them or send the wrong signals.

My goal is to provide you with a helpful, positive mentorship experience where you feel valued and listened to. I will do everything I can to provide an encouraging and comfortable space for your personalized advising.
