Advising Philosophy

My advising philosophy is informed by Appreciative Advising and my personal values of respect, patience, and openness. My approach to advising continues to evolve as I grow as an advisor, and I welcome and encourage students to share their perspectives with me. I strive to cultivate a welcoming, equitable, and supportive experience for each student.

I am committed to upholding the UC Davis Principles of Community.
