After leaving college i decided to make a career at Verizon and further my education at a later date. Fourteen years later i decided to go back to school for degree in Computer and Information Science with a major in Cyber and Network Security. It was not like riding a bike but Dr. Jumelle Brooks made the transition easy. My first impression of her was the reason i decided to sign up for classes. She was very patient, supportive, confident, motivating and she just made coming to class enjoyable. I can honestly say that I was very lucky to have her as a part of my support system academically.

“I was very nervous about trying to find a tutor for my daughter, as she is not always receptive to authority figures . I left my information online and Dr. Brooks called me the next day ensuring they would do everything they could to find somebody not only that would be a good fit for my daughter but willing to work around mine and my husbands schedule, regardless of the hours or obstacles . Following the first meeting I received emails to ensure everything was going well on our end. Overall a great and very reassuring experience.”

Dr. Jumelle Brooks played an instrumental role in the completion of my doctoral program. Her consistent motivational coaching sessions as well as guidance as I was completing my doctoral study helped me to not give up when things became really tough. Additionally, Dr. Brooks has provided sound advice as I crafted a career plan in higher education. I strongly believe that I would not be where I am today professionally if it had not been for Dr. Brooks' constant support.

Dr. Jumelle Brooks is definitely one of the unique scholars that compassionately observes and adheres to her educational calling and responsibility. She possess a front row seat in who I am today not only academically but professionally as well.
