What is your approach to advising?
My advising style is relational rather than transactional. I take the time to get to know you - your interests, goals, and challenges - so each session can be tailored to your unique journey. I approach every conversation with an open mind and heart, understanding that each student is navigating their own (often complex) path through life.
How did you get here?
As an undergrad at UC San Diego, I immersed myself in co-curricular experiences - student government, undergraduate research, the student conduct board, and serving as an orientation leader, just to name a few. These experiences sparked my passion for student development and led me to pursue graduate studies at UCLA. After working several years in residential life, I found my way into academic advising - and I haven’t looked back since!
What advice do you have for L&S students in general?
Don’t take your time here for granted - it goes by faster than you think! Make the most of your experience: go to office hours, engage with faculty, try undergraduate research, and get involved in student orgs, sports, or other activities that excite you. One of my personal regrets is not studying abroad - so if you have the chance, I highly encourage you to go for it!
About me
I’m a proud first-generation college graduate. I speak English and Spanish, and I’m currently re-learning French (hovering somewhere between beginner and intermediate). In my free time, you’ll find me out on a walk or hike, discovering new coffee spots, binge-watching Netflix or Hulu, following politics, or exploring different cultures!
