Education is Harmony’s greatest passion and has molded her committed to helping students achieve their personal and professional goals. Due to her “no limits” approach, she challenges students to reach their full potential and become integral members of their communities. Professionally, Harmony is particularly interested in non-traditional students and underrepresented populations.
