How I see myself ↔ How others see me

Claim

My self-view and reputation align around empathy, leadership, hard work, confidence, and problem-solving.

Evidence: Those five traits appear in both my SPI and PRS word clouds. The PRS also includes independent, caring, outgoing, driven, curious, easygoing, trusting, competitive, well-informed, rule-follower, and social. My SPI includes well-rounded, growth-oriented, good with numbers, calm, poised, involved, even-tempered, idea-generator, values education, respects authority, and spontaneous.

Reasoning: I see myself as more analytical, calm, growth-oriented, and good with numbers, while others also describe me as outgoing, caring, driven, and easygoing. Both perspectives fit different parts of how I show up.

Communication: My SPI style is Analytical, with lower proactivity and lower reactivity. The average PRS style is Expressive, with composite proactivity and reactivity both at 3.00. Individual responses vary, so the average does not mean everyone saw me the same way. I can bring structure and thoughtful analysis while recognizing that others may experience more expressive communication from me.

Development: Feedback encourages me to be punctual, follow through on commitments, set boundaries and prioritize well-being, and stay open to trying new things. It also affirms my ambition, planning, communication, leadership, and willingness to help. Mentoring, precepting, and student advocacy give me places to keep practicing these habits.

Student advocacy · Proposal and feedback

Making student feedback part of the conversation.

As a selected incoming member of the Eller Cohort Advisory Board, I shared student feedback and advocated for stronger advisor training, referrals, and follow-up when students raise mental health concerns. These were recommendations; I am not claiming they have been adopted.
