What do you enjoy most about working with students?

The part I love most about working with students is being able to watch them grow and succeed. I enjoy being able to provide support and guidance to students and help them discover their own path. Watching a student accomplish their goals is the most rewarding feeling and I am very passionate about helping students achieve their aspirations.

What is one surprising thing about you that not many people may not know?

I love animals and seeking out unique opportunities to interact with them. Some of my favorite experiences include swimming with dolphins in the Bahamas, playing and bottle feeding lion and tiger cubs, petting animals like sloths and aardvarks, getting a kiss from a seal, and even visiting a pig cafe in Japan.
