Melissa Paz
Assistant Director of Mental Health Promotion
I want to support students during their time in higher education. As a first-generation graduate student, there were many aspects of my experience that were new and unfamiliar. I gained so much from folks who were willing to mentor me throughout my pursuit of a masters. As a health promotion professional, it’s important to me that students feel supported, seen, and empowered to take up space in all facets of their personhood while navigating their own unique higher education journey.
