As a former freshman, I know that adapting to a completely new environment, especially a highly competitive one, can feel overwhelming. But university life becomes so much easier when you have the right people by your side, and that is exactly why we are here!
I am truly honored to be part of the AAO team and look forward to supporting and helping you whenever you need it.

Hello everyone!
Over the past few years, I have been involved in mentoring, teaching, and student leadership. I have been a member of Student Government, where I worked on organizing student events and initiatives. From my own experience, I know that the transition to university can be both exciting and challenging. Whether it is understanding academic expectations, finding opportunities on campus, or simply adjusting to a new environment, having someone to ask for advice can make a big difference.
Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or concerns. I will be happy to help and support you throughout your journey at NU.
Looking forward to meeting all of you!
