Charlotte
Hi! My name is Charlotte (she/her/hers) and I am a junior majoring in Art History and International Relations. I am a Peer Advisor at the CSS and look forward to start working with other students at New Paltz. I decided to join the Peer Advising team because it is a unique position that offers academic guidance between students on a one on one, and group level! I also believe in supporting my peers in a positive and inclusive environment, which is why the CSS is such a great resource! In my free time, I like to stay active and catch up on a good read.

Faiza
Hi! My name is Faiza (she/her/hers) and I am a junior majoring in International Relations with a minor in Sociology. Currently, I work as a writing consultant at the CSS and I am extremely excited to start peer advising, as well! I love working at the CSS because it allows me to meet and interact with so many of my peers. I thoroughly enjoy helping students navigate challenges and watching them overcome their obstacles. I think being a peer advisor is especially unique and beneficial because we have all been in each other’s shoes which makes it easier to relate to one another's situations. Outside of studying and working, I love to write and spend time with my friends. As such, I look forward to working as a peer advisor and cultivating meaningful relationships with all of you!
