Job Title:

College Adviser

Joined the L&S Office of Undergraduate Advising in:

July 2007

What is your approach to advising?

I am ready to listen to you and always prioritize answering your questions. Come in with your thoughts and questions

How did you get here?

After graduate school, I worked as an admissions counselor for a few years at San Jose State University. Most recently I worked as an academic counselor in the wonderful L&S Deans' Office at UC Davis. I was fortunate to be able to come back to the Bay Area where I grew up and be able to continue work in Letters & Science at Cal.

What's your favorite part of your job?

I love talking with students and helping them with their life questions.

Most unusual job you ever had:

I don't think I've had any really unusual job. What is most interesting however are some of the staff I've worked with.

About me:

Besides excessive internet usage, sitting in front of the tv and/or playing the Wii, I enjoy playing basketball, working out and rooting for the Warriors, 49ers and the SF Giants.

What advice do you have for L&S students in general?

Make the most out of your college experience. College isn't just about academics. This is the time for you to explore and grow. Try out a new class, join a club, do some research with a professor, study abroad, get an internship, join a club, volunteer somewhere, participate in or observe a cultural or recreational activity… whatever you choose to do, get out there.
