鈥淚 pursued this role because I am passionate about higher education, and I know that this experience will help me prepare for my future career as a faculty member and someday as an administrator,鈥 she said. 鈥淚 know that college can be a transformative experience for many students, and I hope that I can one day provide that transformative experience for students.
