Opening Statement
Too often, the resources available to students are hidden behind bureaucracy, misinformation, or a lack of awareness. My goal is to bridge the gap between what is offered and what is genuinely accessible, ensuring that every student knows, understands, and can effectively use the supports in place for their success.
