COM103
I'm Hannah Padilla, a Peer Navigator for COM103 and halfway through earning my BS in Accounting. I have a background in mortgages and resume writing. I'm a mom of three—my oldest is graduating high school this year, and the younger two are in 10th and 3rd grades. I also care for my parents in their 80s.
My college journey has been non-linear, starting 10 years ago, then taking time off to support my kids with ADHD and dyslexia. I returned last year to finish my degree and set an example for my kids. My favorite subjects are English and finance. I’m here to be a resource and support for both new and returning students.

Hi, I’m Stephanie Smith, an Academic Peer Navigator for COM103. In this role, I assist my peers with navigating the course and offer helpful referrals to National University departments as needed. My goal is to support my peers, build meaningful connections, and enhance my communication skills.
I live in Pennsylvania with my husband and our 7 children. I’m in my second year of my bachelor’s in pre-law studies. COM103 was my first course at National University, and I was terrified of public speaking, sure I’d fail. However, the course offers great support and information, helping me develop a skill that will benefit me in many areas of life. I’m excited to help ease the fear and stress of this course for my peers so they can gain valuable public speaking skills for their academic, career, and personal lives.
