Helping People
Day to Day
I work with students (all levels), alumni, faculty and employers to provide support and guidance on everything career related. In my role, meet with students individually and in small groups, present workshops, develop programs, teach classes, help employers identify ways to engage with students , and provide information and opportunities that will benefit them as they prepare and transition from student to professional. I supervise staff, work with community and attend many meetings.
Recommended Education
