Position: Program Supervisor
What led you to your current position? My journey to becoming a Program Supervisor came as I was figuring out what I wanted to do next, both professionally and academically. While I was thinking about going back to school, I knew I wanted to grow as a leader and be a more well-rounded individual. This position offered the perfect opportunity to gain experience, support students, mentor others, and prepare me for future roles.
What inspires you to do this work? I love being able to support students during such an important time in their lives. Knowing I can help guide them and have a positive impact on their growth is rewarding. I also thrive on the challenges this work presents. Each day is a chance to grow, problem-solve, and learn. Beyond the work itself, I’m grateful for the people I meet along the way who support me and encourage me to keep pushing forward. This journey has also allowed me to become a role model for younger family members, which keeps me going when things get tough. It’s both humbling and motivating to know that my actions can influence those around me.
What is a recent highlight you’ve experienced in the work or an important lesson you’ve learned in this role? One of the most important lessons I’ve learned in this role is the importance of self-care. I know everyone says it, but taking the time to check in with yourself and prioritize your own wellness is needed. Whether that means seeking support, taking a day off, or making space to spend time with your loved ones, it's so important to recharge. The work we do is demanding, and it’s easy to get caught up in the hustle; but if we don’t take care of ourselves, it becomes much harder to show up for others. I’ve learned that taking care of yourself is just as important as taking care of others.
Share your life motto or something unique about yourself: Sometimes, it’s the people no one imagines anything of who do the things that no one can imagine. Believe in yourself and live a life that you can be proud of.
