Introducing EDS Mentor: Parker Ayoub

Hi! My name is Parker, and I’m a junior at UCONN. I am passionate about community building, student support, and creating engaging activities. I love working with students in a variety of contexts such as mentoring, event coordination, and one-on-one conversations.

 

Aside from being an EDS mentor, I work as a Resident Assistant on campus where I do my best to foster a sense of belonging and community among my peers. Additionally, I founded the Casual Sports and Games Group on campus, creating a welcoming space for students to connect and stay active without the pressure of formal competition. Organizing events, facilitating connections, and making people feel heard and supported are what I enjoy most.

 

 

Beyond that, I enjoy reading (especially romance novels), dancing, and video games. I have even created my own video game!

 

I’m excited about the journey ahead and hope to continue developing meaningful ways to support students in their academic, personal, and career growth!
