If I wasn't an Academic Advisor I would have been a pottery and ceramics artist.
My major in college was Dance and I chose it because dancing is my passion. It became a catalyst for exploring creativity. Dance served and continues to be a personal therapeutic platform and pursuing it as an undergrad degree helped me connect with others and develop emotional intelligence and physical awareness.
The top three life skills that I learned while in college are
1) interpersonal communication skills
2) tenacity and grit
3) time management skills
My favorite quote is
"If things start happening, don't worry, don't stew, just go right along and you'll start happening too." (Dr. Seuss)
If my life had a theme song it would be Mr. Blue Sky by Electric Light Orchestra.
