I believe that all students deserve the opportunity to learn, grow, and discover a path that works for them during their time at BU. I work hard in my classes and in the Writing Center to meet students where they are and to support them as they make choices about the goals they want to pursue and the values they hold. I love having conversations with students from all backgrounds to learn about what brought them to BU, and how I can help them make the most of their time here.
