Advisement & Mentorship

Advisement

I advise hundreds of students each semester as part of departmental advisement and late registration procedures in the Fall/Winter and Winter/Spring periods.

In addition, I offer individual student advisement during my office hours for any student that requests it. I provide guidance for graduate school applications, portfolio reviews and essays, financial aid and student achievement awards, job interviews, and internship opportunities, with excellent student success.

I have completed the City Tech Safe Zone program, as well as other workshops offered through the Learning Communities initiative, ePortfolio, and the Professional Development Advisory Council. This training has helped me support many students struggling with personal and academic challenges.

Mentorship

As a CUNY BA Faculty Mentor, I have guided several students in the development of their own curricula, tailored to their career goals and interests. The follow students are currently enrolled or have successfully completed their CUNY BA degrees under my mentorship:

  • Milagros Aguirre (2009 anticipated)

Employment Support

I have also recommended many students for employment positions within the College and beyond.  The following students were recommended for positions, which allowed them to use their design and technical skills in real-world employment situations.
