Senior in Marketing

"I am a first-generation college student majoring in marketing with a minor entrepreneurship. I am passionate about student success because I've had personal hardships throughout college because I didn't know who to reach out to for help until I was introduced to the Academic Achievement Center at K-State. The amazing work that every AAC staff member commits to student success inspired me to also find ways to connect fellow peers with all the resources, tools, and support systems offered by K-State to help them meet thier needs and goals."

I am passionate about student success because I believe empowering students benefits the individual and the community as a whole, both on and off campus. It's very important for students to be aware of the opportunities and services the campus has to offer, and the Office of Student Success is integral in helping students have access to these resources!"
