TESTIMONiaLS
BRIN ROBINSON
UNIVERSITY OF TAMPA GRADUATE
"I had the pleasure of having Jake as my advisor during my freshman year of college, and even after I was reassigned to a new advisor, he still made time for me on his already full calendar. That alone speaks to how deeply he cares about helping students succeed. Jake took the time to truly get to know me on a personal level and thoughtfully guided my class schedule around my interests, work schedule and career goals. He made me feel comfortable asking questions, valued my goals, and confident in the direction I was taking. I trusted his guidance and knew he was genuinely invested in helping me succeed."
