So, I grew up right outside of Charlottesville
in Louisa county, a pretty rural area here in Central Virginia.
And Charlottesville to us was actually the Big City.
When I was admitted to the university,
that was a pretty exciting time for me and my family.
Nobody in my family had ever gone off to college.
I decided to come back to UVA as a staff member,
as an opportunity to give back to the university.
One of the things that I'm really passionate about
is inclusion and access here at UVA.
How can we support students to make sure
that they can access any and every aspect of the university
community in an equitable way?
I dedicate about eight hours of my week,
where my door is always open, and any and all students
can come in to meet with me one-on-one.
We want to be a level of support for you
so that you feel that you have an identified
path during your time at the university.
