"I am excited to serve as the Aims2UNC transition advisor. The combination of my previous experiences as the International Admissions coordinator at UNC and an academic advisor at Aims have positioned me to assist students in the transfer process from Aims to UNC. I look forward to drawing on the skills I have gained in the field, the knowledge from my graduate program in Adult and Higher Education, as well as my personal experience as a transfer student, to enrich students’ experiences and contribute to the collaboration between Aims and UNC.As an advisor, I view my role as a guide on students’ journeys through college. I am excited about joining my advisees on their unique trail of learning, exploring, growing and achieving goals. I understand how challenging, but also exciting, transitions can be, and I will serve as a resource, support and mentor on my advisees’ path from Aims to UNC. My hope is to help students maximize their experience at Aims, discover what UNC has to offer, navigate and balance college and life, as well as challenge and encourage them along the way."

"I am excited to be a part of the Aims2UNC program and the endless possibilities of what this partnership can accomplish moving forward. Since I am a native of Northern Colorado and a son of two public educators, it means a great deal to me to help positively impact the local educational landscape. As a graduate of a junior college, a four-year institution and law school, I see great value in utilizing community college courses en route to earning a bachelor’s degree, and pursuing personal and professional goals through various educational opportunities. It is my goal to develop a program that serves Aims2UNC students in an engaging, accessible and effective manner."

"As an alumna of both institutions, working with the Aims2UNC program has a special meaning to me. Through my own educational journey that includes attending college as both a traditional and non-traditional student I know that each student-identity comes with its own set of challenges. I understand that it isn’t always easy to juggle work, friends, and family while also pursuing your educational goals. This is especially true when life throws you curveballs at the most unexpected times, making it difficult to stay on track at times. In this program I will look to create programming that will allow you to engage on both campuses in a way you find most meaningful that will support you along your path forward as you transition from an Aims Aardvark to a UNC Bear."
