Meet Your Academic Coaches

Bio: I have been at UTA for almost three years now. I appreciate the various types of students and backgrounds that I work with. The experience I have gained from working here has given me greater insight and allows me to grow and build valuable relationships with our students

Bio: I have been with UTA since 2015 initially as a student. Later, I began my UTA career with the Office of Student Accounts in 2019 where I spent two and a half years working with students in Student Financials. I thoroughly enjoy helping students succeed and reach their goals no matter the obstacle we may face together. Everyone deserves a chance of success.

Bio: Hello Mavericks! My name is Sophia Vieyra and I have been at UTA since April 2022. My goal is to make each student the best version of themselves. I know our last couple of years were everything but normal. But I am in your corner and I look forward to supporting you all in any way I can. 

Bio: Hey MAV FAM! My name is Katrina Williams and I serve as an Academic Success Coach in the Academic Success Center. I’ve been in this role since February 2022 and I’m a proud alumna of The University of Texas at Arlington. I’m what you would call a sparkplug! I use my light to help students discover the strength and gifts they already have living inside of them. My favorite part about working with students is seeing them have the light bulb moment, when they really start to believe that they can accomplish their goals.

Bio: My name is Luis Munoz, and I am an academic coach here at UTA (please call me Luis). I was born and raised in Irving, TX. I completed my undergraduate degree in History from UTA and currently working on my master’s degree in educational leadership and policy Studies at UTA. In my spare time, I enjoy spending my time with family and friends, watching sports (fav. football, basketball, and soccer), and being in the great outdoors. My philosophy is all about communication and relationship building. With that being said, I encourage you to not only focus on academics but also become involved in campus activities and organizations. If you have questions or need to talk, don't hesitate to contact me (email is best). I am more than happy to guide you through your college experience.
