Title: Undergraduate Student Advisor
About me: I have been with the AMPD advising office (OAISS) since its inception, and I couldn’t ask for a more meaningful career than guiding students along their journey to academic success! When I’m not at work, I love hiking, exploring international cuisines, and planning activities for my church high school team.
