49er Intentional Planner

Inspiration I work as both a peer mentor and success guide for the University Center for Academic Excellence. I am dedicated to empowering students facing academic challenges. I thrive on creative problem-solving and find immense joy in mentoring individuals to discover their untapped potential. The reason I am so passionate about this is that I experienced a significant obstacle in the Fall of 2022, which had a major impact on my academic journey; if it weren't for the resources, I would not be here today working towards my degree. That served as fuel to help others. I am extremely passionate about guiding students and providing opportunities for them to succeed.

What it does I am working on an intentional planner that will help students with time management, anxiety, and campus resources as these are the top three obstacles that students on academic probation face. My design is going to be different from the many planners out there in that I am going to design something based off student feedback from workshops that I host.

How we built it I will be designing in Adobe Suite with guidance from my graphic design professors for the visual elements and help from my supervisors in my peer mentor role for content and activities.
