How did you come to Mason:����

I first came to Mason in 2014 for my son’s orientation. Then my daughter also enrolled here in 2017. Both of them graduated with master's degrees. I loved Mason so much the first time I came that I decided to move to the neighborhood. My kids, knowing how much I loved Mason, kept insisting that I try and find a job here. I eventually did in 2022.

Best day on the job:

Everyone is so helpful and friendly that it made me feel at home from the very first day, making every day the best day on the job at Mason. If you want to know what the most satisfying day is—it’s those days when I get to help students in need.

What do you like best about working at Mason: ����

Mason understands the meaning of “it takes a village to raise a good citizen.” The motto “students first” is a vision for ensuring a brighter future. On a personal level, Mason has provided me with opportunities I never thought possible, especially fulfilling my dream of going back to school to study—I’m pursuing an online MBA.

What do you like to do when you’re not working:

Socializing with my senior neighbors, gardening, painting, and studying.
