What I Love About Working at CPP

My dad was a professor and loved working with students. He is my role model. I found I was able to develop meaningful and long-lasting relationships with students through mentoring.

Working at CPP as the Vice President of Student Affairs and Dean of Students is a testament to the transformative power of higher education. It's where I witness the magic of student empowerment, the beauty of diversity in action, and the boundless potential of collaborative efforts. At CPP, every day presents an opportunity to make a tangible difference in the lives of our students, and that's what I love most about being here.
