I create department course schedules, keep communication between students and faculty smooth, and organize and plan student travel related to the university.

The joy of being an administrative assistant is always being at the center of the action. I always know what’s going on in the office, which gives me a chance to help make important events happen more smoothly.
What would you tell a student who is considering A&M-Commerce?
Coming to our small-town university can be a fantastic decision for several reasons. Firstly, our university offers a tight-knit community where you’ll receive personalized attention from professors and staff. This means more opportunities for mentorship, academic support and individualized learning experiences.

A&M-Commerce’s community fosters stronger relationships between students and faculty, creating a supportive network that extends beyond the classroom. Additionally, it provides unique opportunities for hands-on learning, internships, and research projects and a greater sense of belonging and camaraderie among students.
What is an important life lesson you've learned?
Putting in the effort and staying committed to our goals often leads to rewarding outcomes. Hard work pays off in various ways, whether achieving personal milestones, advancing our careers or building stronger relationships. When we dedicate ourselves to tasks with determination and persistence, we accomplish our objectives and gain a sense of fulfillment and satisfaction.
What do you like to do when you're not working?
When I’m not working, I’m drawn to spending time in nature. Whether taking hikes through lush forests, exploring scenic trails or simply walking in a park, being outdoors rejuvenates me like nothing else.
Who has been a role model for you and why?
My mom is my hero because she’s always there for me and our family. She’s super caring and always puts others first. She teaches me to be kind and tough and never give up. Her wisdom, patience and strength have guided me through life’s challenges and shaped me into the person I am today.
