About Cristy
There are many reasons I love working at YVC. I enjoy working in an academic environment with a diverse group of students who are eager to learn. I believe every student can do well when their needs are met. I try to build rapport and trust daily so they feel comfortable sharing their challenges with me and we can find ways to navigate them together (or I can connect them to someone on campus who can support them).
I work on a team where we all share similar goals and work on those goals as a team. I started my academic journey at YVC and hopefully will end my career by retiring from YVC. My interests, outside of YVC, involve travel. I enjoy walking the streets and looking at the architecture of new cities.
When I am retired, I would like to travel.
