Travelers EDGE Senior Consultant
I help underrepresented college students graduate with a bachelor's degree! :-)
For me, no two days are ever the same ... and I like it :) I help undergraduate students navigate through college, and I lead & participate daily in MANY inspiring, thought provoking and sometimes tough meetings at Travelers and on college campuses. I work with internal (Travelers) partners to help secure internships and full-time jobs for scholars in the Travelers EDGE program I manage. I pair mentors to mentees, I assist with professional development and on some days, I help problem solve.
Here's the first step for college students
Completing an internship or internships in Human Resources - staffing, recruiting, employee relations - is key. Also, having some counseling experience or being an actual counselor would help tremendously in my occupation.
"Don't quit your job and move to Connecticut, it's too risky; you'll be all alone. Why aren't you married? Why don't you have children? You think you're better than me because you have a degree? Find a rich man and get married. Let a man take care of you."
