I · Clarity

Requirements, in plain words.

General education, major, catalog year, units. I translate the degree audit into a written plan a student can actually follow.

Degree & GE requirements
Explained one-on-one or to a room of fifty.
Educational plans
Mapped term by term, in DegreeWorks and the student information system.

II · Access

Every door, opened.

First-generation and low-income students deserve the whole map: financial aid, fee waivers, scholarships and the campus resources nobody mentions.

Financial aid counseling
FAFSA, appeals, awards and Work-Study.
Referrals that land
Connecting each student with the office that can actually help.

III · Persistence

Early, before it’s late.

Early alerts, faculty referrals, academic notice: the best time to help is before a setback becomes a spiral.

Early-alert outreach
At-risk students tracked and contacted through Starfish Early Success.
Workshops & orientations
Designed and led for new students, families and staff.

IV · Completion

Every unit, accounted for.

I evaluate petitions to graduate for a living. The goal of every appointment is the one at the end: commencement.

Graduation evaluations
GE, major and catalog-year audits, certified.
Transfer credit & substitutions
Course level, content, units and grading, verified.
