My NC State experiences have shaped my career path. Taking distance education engineering courses in the 2+2 Program led me to transfer to NC State, where I earned a B.S. in mechatronics. During my senior year, I worked at the Solar Center on a research project on Solar Thermal Efficiency. Thanks to NC State, I am prepared for an exciting career in research and development of clean energy and alternative energy technologies.

As an academic advisor, my task is to help students find their own path. It's not to impose choices or make decisions; students know themselves—their interests and capabilities—much better than I do. What advisors offer is knowledge of academic possibilities, assisting people to get from where they are now, academically and professionally, to where they hope to go.

Giving my students a hands-on and engaging experience with the material is important to me. By using new technologies that appeal to different learning styles I feel that I am able to introduce a wider audience to the fascinating world of plant pathology.
