After studying Mandarin Chinese during my undergraduate career at FSU, I taught English in China for an academic year before I came back home and ultimately joined the Academic Advising & Student Success team at FSU Panama City. Having served as a Peer Advisor in the summer after my freshman year at FSU and having met regularly with my own academic advisors in Tallahassee, I understood the significance such a role could have in helping students navigate through their college experience. Caring deeply for education and knowing its significance in helping shape and influence lives, I felt right at home when I joined the staff at FSU Panama City. Not only is Panama City my hometown, but I also began an important part of my college experience at the FSU Panama City campus where I came to take my International Baccalaureate exams with Rutherford High School during my senior year.
