Judith Garza
Being a Student Success & Academic Advisor, I am able to help people. But not just any “people”.
I am able to help young minds to achieve goals. To find the strength beneath the fear. To help them clear pathways that might seem rough. My hope is to be able to help them be successful!
That really makes me happy!
My life is happier when I am able to help others, just as others have helped me.

My hobbies and/or interests
Hi there to whoever reads this!
I am Judith. An ordinary person making extraordinary things!
I have learned that life is about enjoying the little things as much as the bigger ones.
My favorite hobby is spending time with family. I love traveling to little towns and bigger cities equally. I also love cooking and trying to replicate foods that I taste outside and making them at home.
But what I like most is planting flowers or plants, taking care of them, and seeing them grow….plants are like people, and I think this is why I like advising.
Oh, I also collect turtles! I believe turtles are fantastic! They might be slow, but they get there!
My favorite quote
I have learned in life that you can accomplish anything you set your mind to do. You just have to believe you can.
But remember, there is no magic here, you have to work towards your goals.
I once read a quote from Mother Teresa (Calcutta) which reaffirmed this to me: “Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment”.
