What can one conversation change? In this inspiring episode of Adventures in Advising, guest host Dr. Melinda Anderson sits down with newly minted Dr. Erika Nixon-Lambert to explore how a chance encounter, the guidance of caring academic advisors, and the power of community transformed her path from the cosmetics industry to earning her Doctor of Pharmacy.
Together, they discuss resilience, mentorship, nontraditional student success, and why advisors have the opportunity to shape lives one conversation at a time. It's a heartfelt reminder that while dreams may be delayed, they are never denied—and that the right support can help students discover just how far they're capable of going.
