Favorite Place
The Center for Student Success lobby. I love spending time chatting with Donna and Annessa, working with my mentors, and getting excited about supporting students.

Notable Quote
"Before going back to college, I knew I didn't want to be an intellectual, spending my life in books and libraries without knowing what the hell is going on in the streets. Theory without practice is just as incomplete as practice without theory. The two have to go together. ? Assata Shakur, Assata: An Autobiography
