A person is smiling while standing on a wooden deck by the water. In the background, the Sydney Opera House and a ferry are visible on a clear day. Overlaid text reads: "WHAT I DO: I assist students with all things academics, campus, and Honors!

A person stands in a plaza with Big Ben and the UK Parliament building in the background. The text reads: "MY ADVICE: 'Don’t be afraid to change your goals and try something new.' 'My background is in theatre. While working as a camp coordinator and teaching artist at the Alabama Shakespeare Festival, I discovered a passion for teaching and education. I learned how to engage students, lead lessons and work collaboratively, which led me to Auburn. That experience reminded me that it’s okay when your career path changes. Sometimes the opportunities you don’t expect lead you exactly where you’re meant to be.'
