About Me

Hi. I'm Rhonda.

I enjoy lots of things.

My main focus in life is helping students achieve professional success. Currently, I am doing that by working with engineering graduate students at Duke University.

I'm a military brat...dad was a Marine. I was born in Hawaii, lived in Virginia, South Carolina, Japan, and now North Carolina.

I have a love for the Asian culture. Probably developed from living in a Japan and having a Vietnamese significant other.

I don't know where I would be without fried rice, my dog Barney, or softball. I love all 3.

I am excellent at organization, thrive in presentations (I do best thinking on my feet), and absolutely must be surrounded by people.

For those familiar with MBTI: I'm an ISFJ.

GO HEELS!
