What's a favorite memory you've made while working in the division?
One of my favorite memories has been working one-on-one with students and witnessing their growth. It’s incredibly rewarding when they return to share their successes and how they’re thriving. Seeing them flourish, knowing I played a small part in their journey, is truly fulfilling.
If you had unlimited funds to plan a dream vacation, where would you go?
I’d pick Bali. It’s a tropical paradise with vibrant culture, stunning beaches and delicious food. From exploring the beautiful rice terraces in Ubud to enjoying fresh seafood, Bali offers the perfect mix of adventure and relaxation. Plus, with over 10,000 temples, it’s a place rich in history and spirituality.
What's a small daily habit that brings you joy?
Stretching for 10 to 20 minutes every morning. It’s a wonderful way to wake up my body and get it moving while also helping me start my day with a positive mindset. This simple routine sets a grounding tone for the rest of my day.
What's one piece of advice you'd give to students to make the most of their college experience?
Make time for the things that truly matter to you, even amid your responsibilities. It’s easy to get caught up in what you have to do, but it’s just as important to be intentional about what you want to do. Balance your priorities with activities that bring you joy and fulfillment.
