Favorite quote: "As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.” -Maya Angelou

Favorite place in Tallahassee: Any place that is dog-friendly.

Favorite aspect of coaching: I love the idea of being an advocate for a student's success. No matter what happens in the course of a student's college career, he or she can rest easy knowing there's at least one person in their corner; navigating through life's tough moments is more manageable knowing you have someone willing to hold the compass..

Advice to Students: First, as hard as it is, don’t compare your behind-the-scenes with someone else’s highlight reel. Second, embrace uncertainty. Some of the most beautiful chapters of our lives won’t have a title until much later.
