I’m especially helpful if you’re navigating:
-
Academic stress, burnout, or time management struggles
-
Navigating friendships and social dynamics in college
-
Performance pressure as a student-athlete or leader
-
Being away from family and learning how to be on your own
-
Balancing high expectations with personal well-being
What I understand personally:
As a former Track & Field athlete who competed as a heptathlete, I understand the pressure to perform at a high level both academically and athletically. I also recognize how stress and burnout can build when you’re balancing multiple demands at once. I’m committed to helping students navigate these challenges while supporting growth, confidence, and overall well-being.
Outside of mentoring:
I enjoy going on walks, reading, shopping, and trying new places to eat.
