Peer Mentors

An Oakley's Parliament Peer Mentor offers help and advice to a mentee. Peer mentors have a passion for assisting fellow Pioneers in the College of Professional Education by supporting mentees in the navigation of the university, majors, and co-curricular involvement.

As role models upholding the Pioneer spirit, peer mentors provide support and guidance to each mentee. Mentors are dedicated to mentee success and integration into the Pioneer community.

Olivia Burttschell

Hi there! I am going into my third year here at TWU, and I am double majoring in Early Childhood Education and Marketing. I am a proud member of Sigma Sigma Sigma Sorority, as well as a Touchstone Honors student, and I am very excited to be a part of Oakley’s Parliament.

I love helping others and being involved on campus. I can’t wait to see what we all can do as a community and future educators.

Arissa Gonzalez

I am a first-generation student. My major is Child Development on the Pre-OT Track, and I plan on becoming an Acute Care Pediatric Occupational Therapist.

I am the president of the TWU Pre-OT Club, and I love that I'm able to be a part of a community on campus, not only within Pre-OT but also within Oakley's Parliament. I can't wait for this upcoming school year as a mentor.

Dani Green

HI! I am a first-generation student and in my junior year. My major is Early Childhood Education, Pre-K-3, with a certification in Special Education.  

I am currently a Shift Supervisor at Starbucks, and I love coffee. I have previous experience as an intern for two years at an elementary school, and I am very involved in campus. I love going to events hosted in the library. I also try to make it to open-rec volleyball at the Fit and Rec Center every Monday and Thursday, and even participate in a team for the intramural league. 

I absolutely love TWU because the campus is gorgeous, but so is the community and culture surrounding the college. I am so very excited to be a mentor this year!

Hannah Solomon

Hi! I am a junior here at TWU and my major is Child Development Pre-OT. I want to get my doctorate in Occupational Therapy, and be a pediatric Occupational Therapist. 

I’m a part of TRiO SSS, an officer for the Pre-OT club and the Lavender League, and an active member of the Pagan Society. I’m very into arts and crafts, and I specialize in jewelry.

I live on campus and i’m always willing to hang out and answer any questions. I love making new friends and helping others, so I’m very excited to meet my mentees. I can’t wait to learn more about y’all! 

Elexia Stewart

My name is Elexia, but I also go by Lexi. My major is Child Life with Child Development emphasis. I am a senior studying to be a Child Life Specialist, and I also would love to be a doula.

I’m a big advocate for children and mothers. I have a genuine soft spot for both, and I strive to create healthy and safe spaces for them. I love anything I can make or do with my hands. I love trying new foods and meeting new people. Which means I am so excited to be a mentor this upcoming year! 

Jeriona Williams

I’m a junior at TWU, studying Child Development on the pre-Occupational Therapy track. I am a part of the Honors Touchstone Program as well as a dancer on the Pioneer Pride Dance Team. 

I love dancing, crafting, trying new things, and meeting new people. I’m excited to serve as a mentor and support others throughout their educational journey. I’m looking forward to all of the things that Oakley's Parliament has to offer, and to making meaningful connections along the way.
