Director

I am a proud UT Arlington alumnus (’04 and ’06) and a product of the TRiO Programs.  During high school I participated in the TRiO UB and UBMS programs. I chose to attend UT Arlington after attending the UTA UBMS summer program.  My favorite thing about UTA is Oozeball; it's a great tradition (mud volleyball)!  I would like to share a quote that inspires me:  “To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world.” - unknown

Coordinator II/Educational Specialist

I have worked at UT-Arlington since 2005. I am elated to be a part of the SSS team! I thoroughly enjoy helping students reach their academic and personal goals. I primarily work with college juniors, seniors and transfer students. I enjoy spending time with my family, playing basketball, reading, and coaching whatever sport/activity my son is involved in. A quote that inspires me is "To Accomplish great things we must not only act but also dream, not only plan but also believe" Anatole.

Tutor Coordinator

I am an alumnus of UT Arlington (’13) and I thoroughly enjoy working with our students. As Tutor Coordinator, I feel that I am contributing to improving the minds of students, just as a peer educator does, but on a much larger scale. One motto for life that I strongly believe in, and keep in mind everyday, states, "you must always keep your mind open because you never know what will find its way in there." My hope is that this motto results in a positive influence as reflected in my daily interactions.

I enjoy spending quality time with my family and close friends. The one thing that I like most about working for SSS is that the students are our first priority. We serve our student participants by providing them with the necessary services and tools they need to be successful at UT Arlington.
