Background
Hometown: Columbia, SC
About Me: I enjoy counseling and supporting students, particularly those who may be navigating uncertainty or change. My interests include public history and Black studies, and I’m always eager to keep learning alongside the students I work with. Outside of work, I’m aspiring to get into horseback riding, spending more time connecting with nature, and I like to joke that I’m currently in my “monk era” like Aang from Avatar The Last Airbender though I’m definitely a waterbender at heart.
Favorite Quote: “And, when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.” - Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist
Advice to Students: You don’t need to have it all figured out. Show up, keep going even when it’s hard, and stay open-minded. Progress comes from consistency, not perfection.
