Student affairs isn't about recreating one's own college experience for students. It's about helping create opportunities for students to find, develop, and define their own college experience. I never try to impose my experience on others, but I love to share them. From this, I hope to give them inspiration to create their own unique college experience. I love my job because I pull in a lot of various experiences to make my own professional experience. I get the chance everyday to emphasize to my student staff that it is up to them to pull from experiences and knowledge and paint their own picture of where they want to go and how to get there. I'm always there to assist and support, but I'm there to challenge them to take risks and run with their own passions. This is why I love this work!
