Biography

I’ve always had a passion for supporting students through academic advising, which
began during my time as a Preparatory Enrollment Program (PEP) student at Rhode
Island College. My PEP advisor guided me through the transition from high school to
college by providing holistic support and culturally appropriate resources that helped me navigate difficult times. I hold both a Master of Arts and a Bachelor of Arts degree in Youth Development from Rhode Island College. Outside of work, I prioritize self-care by going to the gym, journaling, and curling up with a good book. I also serve as the advisor for one of the multicultural student organizations on campus—the Alima International Dance Association (ALIMA).
