Roxanne Lopez

Provided consistent one-on-one and group listening and support to 20–30 students weekly and conducted check-ins for 60+ students every semester across six years of continuous student-facing work, tailoring each interaction to diverse emotional, cultural, and personal needs. Created and facilitated peer support spaces and group kamustahan sessions within a residential community, fostering openness, belonging, and a culture where help-seeking felt safe and natural. Held sensitive personal disclosures with discretion, applied appropriate referral protocols when needed, and maintained a trusted, non-judgmental presence that made support consistently accessible to young people navigating academic pressures, interpersonal challenges, and personal transitions throughout their university life.
