Bio
Susan B.
Nicki Pearson is an exceptional educational advisor. She guides and supports Kwantlen students from admission through graduation. I really admire Nicki's work with the Early Alert program. She is devoted to assisting students in academic difficulty, and she helps them turn things around so they succeed in their academic careers. Nicki is also a supportive colleague to whom I can turn for advice and feedback when dealing with difficult advising situations.
