KINDRA CROCKER ROADS
Nursing, B.S. | Nurse Practitioner,
Pima County Jail | Tucson

Solid preparation: Nursing instructor Angela Muzzy
always gave us real-life examples and made learning
interactive. She was great at keeping us engaged, and it
made a huge difference.

Gaining soft skills through Blue Chip Leadership:
We wrote resumes and practiced interviewing for jobs. It
was super helpful to learn how to present myself in the
real world.
Dorm life: It was a really neat experience for me. My dorm,
Navajo-Pinal, was a quiet one, but some of my friends told
interesting stories about their dorms.
Why give? I had scholarships, and they helped me a lot.
It’s my way of showing appreciation for what I received
as a student.
10 years a graduate: It makes me feel old, but it also feels
good. I’m glad I can still be a part of the UA by going to BOB HUBER
campus and supporting my team at games. Master of Accounting | Shareholder, Huber
CPA, P.C. | Tucson

Family memories of campus: My kids were 1 and 3
when we moved to Tucson. We’ve always enjoyed visiting
the turtle pond. You just don’t expect that in the middle of
the desert.

Supporting Eller: I make discretionary gifts to the
accounting department so they can use it for what is
most important.

Advice for accounting students: Once you graduate,
you will work a lot of hours. Find a firm where you like
the people.

The affinity of excellence: UA basketball gives the
community a strong sense of identity and excitement, and
that’s fun to be a part of as a donor. Sean Miller has been
instrumental in elevating the program.

Remembering Eller professor Dan Dhaliwal:
He passed away last summer. Arizona was lucky to have
him. He always emphasized that we could learn as much
from our classmates as we could from him.
