I have recently returned to the US after working for 16 years creating and working in the Student Affairs division at a university in Lahore, Pakistan. Prior to that, I lived and worked in the Atlanta, Georgia area as an Elementary School and Special Education teacher. 

My Values and How They Inform My Career

I value integrity, compassion, pursuit of excellence, and justice among other things. These have informed my choice of career as well as how I interact with others in my job. I believe that advising is an opportunity to help students become their best selves and achieve their goals. It is our job to find situations that are road blocks for that and to work with students to overcome those blocks. This includes working to change unfair systems or practices that create those blocks for students and communities.
