Bailey Ayers

Academic Advising Specialist

A Conversation with Bailey

What do you love most about your job? 

What I love most about advising is the opportunity to build meaningful connections with students and guide them through their academic journey. Helping them explore their strengths, navigate challenges, and create a path that aligns with their goals is incredibly rewarding. 

What is an important life lesson you've learned?

You can’t control everything, but you can control how you react. Being open to change and keeping a positive mindset when things get tough can make it easier for you to deal with challenges and bounce back.

What is your favorite spot in Commerce and why?

Mugs on the Square. They have the best coffee and atmosphere in town.
