In my role, I oversee the one-on-one career coaching program. In addition to coordinating our offerings, I also help the team of coaches in their professional development by implementing trainings and discussions around diversity, equity, and inclusion topics. My favorite aspect of my job is when get to meet individually with students and alums, hearing their stories, and together, coming up with action plans to meet their future goals and aspirations. One of my emerging interests is in helping students find their purpose and find meaningful work.
