This section provides an overview of my academic journey and professional experience. As a beginner in academic advising but with a strong background as an educator, researcher, and tech enthusiast, I have developed skills in supporting students and integrating technology into their learning. My previous roles have shaped my ability to engage with students and help them navigate their academic challenges.
