Success coaches

I support students by being a constant and consistent educational cheerleader, trying my best to inspire/motivate them. I model effort and accountability by literally going to the mountain and ocean for them.

Aaron HashimotoEnrollment & Student Success Coach, ASU Local – West Hawai’i

I’m motivated by the opportunity to help students navigate their college journey and support them in achieving their goals. Guiding students’ growth through academic advice, career guidance or personal development are all topics that touch close to home. Through these topics, I enjoy assisting students to become the best version of themselves they can be while at the same time helping them achieve their overall goals.

Nikkia PannellEnrollment & Student Success Coach, ASU Local – Los Angeles

I enjoy making students college lives easier. A lot of the obstacles that prevent students from completing their degree can be eliminated by having someone who knows the resources that exist and can do the work to connect you to them. My goal is to make a students path to a degree and career as sufficient and stress-free as possible. Having a success coach is like having magic lamp that can grant you access to any wish as long as you know what goals you have.
