Specialty: Teaching, Group work, International Students

Each time I step into a classroom to teach, or a student walks into my office with an issue, I see it as another opportunity to make a difference in someone's life. These occasions are finite in number, and when I reach life's last stage of ego integrity, I want to be able to look back and say that I genuinely cared for those human beings who ventured forth into my classroom or counseling office. I, personally, benefited from the example of educational professionals in my own life and feel it is my privilege to provide the same for those students who encounter me.

As a proud graduate of DCCC and a mid-life career changer, I enjoy working with students of all ages to help them meet their personal, educational and career goals. It has been said that 10% of our life experience is determined by the things that happen to us, and the other 90% is the result of how we react to those things. College counselors have the training and skills to help students make better choices about a wide variety of life issues. Please let me know if I can help you.

Specialty: Black Student Retention

My favorite quote is, "Education is your passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today." I like to see myself as the water in the student's Garden of Life. The seed has often been planted but water is a necessity. I love to see students succeed to become productive citizens in the world. I want to help students grow. I want students to enter my office and leave feeling better about school, life, their career or whatever brought them into my office.
