Student Success Specialist

"One day at a time.” 

I work with students to help them figure out how they can be successful during their time at TTU and the resources that we offer to help them achieve their goals. The most inspiring part of my job is being able to see students grow in self-confidence and start to be more comfortable in pursuing their goals and seeking help when they need it. Being a part of that process is an honor.
 
I worked as a high school science teacher in El Paso for five years, teaching Chemistry and Physics. More recently, I worked as an Academic Advisor for the past two years with the Graduate School here at TTU, before joining the Student Engagement team.
 
Outside the office I enjoy reading, writing, playing Bass, playing video games, and hanging out with friends.

My Academic Journey

During my last semester, I bombed my first Biochemistry exam (a course I needed to graduate). Worried that I was going to fail, I visited the professor's office hours to see if there was any hope. The professor told me that if I started taking the class more seriously (attending every lecture, staying awake and paying attention, visiting office hours regularly, asking for help when I need it) I would most likely pass the class. I took all of his advice and finished the class with a B!
