These beliefs shape the way I approach academic advising now \u2013 I strive to provide my advisees with the supports they need personally so they can be curious, engaged, and reflective academically. This is especially important to me when working with first-generation students. Our first-gen advisees are resourceful, insightful, highly capable, and deeply motivated individuals \u2013 and they are also in a new and disorienting environment where they may not know where to go for help. This is where being a Terrier F1rsts Advocate comes in for me. I want to be an advocate for first-gen students, I want to provide a safe and welcoming safe where their experiences are validated, and I want to be part of a community that champions this community.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>First-Generation Graduate\/Professional<\/li>\n<li>Gender Identity and Pronouns: Female &#8211; she\/her<\/li>\n<li>Race, Ethnicity, and\/or Nationality: White, American<\/li>\n<li>Hometown: Boston, MA<\/li>\n<li>Languages Spoken: English<\/li>\n<li>Business\/Industry of Interest: Art and Humanities, Health, Social Sciences<\/li>\n<li>Personal Facts\/ Hobbies\/ Interests: I was born and raised in a small town in New Hampshire, which means I am outdoors as much as possible. I love running, hiking in the White Mountains, spending a day at the beach, or biking around Boston (where I&#8217;ve lived for more than a decade now). I&#8217;m also an avid reader (please come talk about books with me!), an amateur cross-stitcher (yes, it&#8217;s nerdy), and a new dog mom (to an adorable hound-mix, Rosa). More than anything, I love working with students and welcome the opportunity to connect with BU students whenever possible!<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cas\/academics\/undergraduate-education\/academic-advising\/advising\/contact-and-staff\/\">BU Profile<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"author":19705,"template":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/newbury-center\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/1288"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/newbury-center\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/newbury-center\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/profile"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/newbury-center\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/19705"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/newbury-center\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/1288\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3735,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/newbury-center\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/1288\/revisions\/3735"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/newbury-center\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1288"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
