I currently work part-time, with a flexible hourly schedule. I’m typically at my computer Monday-Friday for a few hours in the early morning and again in the afternoons.

The best way to reach me:

The best way to contact me is via email. I do my best to respond to emails within a business day (if not sooner!), but there are times where the volume of emails I receive increases (advising for the upcoming quarters) which means my response time will increase, too. I prefer emails because I can see a history of our conversations, this helps me remember what has previously been discussed.

The best time to call:

1:30PM-3:30PM, this the best time to reach me. If you call and are sent to my voicemail, please feel free to leave a message. Or you can email me your request, as it is easier for me to respond to students via email when I’m working the earlier portion of my schedule.

I can help you with:

• I mainly serve BAS-ITAM students
• Academic planning regarding General Education requirements
• Advise for General Education Program petitions
• Review students' transfer and test credits and assist with articulations to CWU
• Recommend transfer courses to articulate to major/minor program
• Assist students with policy interpretation and university processes (e.g. repeat approval form, SAP Financial Aid appeal, Academic Suspension appeal, ROTC form 48 and 104R forms, etc.)
• Assist students to successfully onboard to their major (e.g. advise to complete all preadmission requirements, submit application, assist students to create a tentative, multi-year academic plan to use with faculty advisor)
• Academic planning related to graduation and university requirements
• Outreach related activities (e.g., academic warning/probation outreach, academic early alerts, non-enrolled outreach, etc.)
• Connection to internal and external resources (e.g., scholarships, counseling, tutoring)
• Provide general information related to campus clubs/organizations or other community engagement opportunities
