Academic Advisor | Marketing & International Business Specialist
As an Academic Advisor at the Argyros College of Business and Economics, I have the privilege of supporting students as they navigate their academic journeys and prepare for impactful careers in business. With a specialized MBA in International Business from Chapman University, I bring both a global perspective and a deep appreciation for the transformative power of education.
My professional philosophy is grounded in the belief that true growth happens when we step outside our comfort zones. Whether it's advising students or exploring a new country, I am passionate about learning through immersion and discovery. Travel and education have shaped my worldview and continue to inspire my commitment to fostering development in others.
My Clifton strengths—Achiever, Analytical, Deliberative, Focus, and Intellection—reflect a thoughtful and driven approach to both personal and professional goals. They also guide me as I prepare for the next chapter in my journey: pursuing a PhD. I am excited to contribute to research, mentorship, and academic leadership in the years ahead.
