I am one of the Assistant Directors for the Corporate Partner Relations team at the Center for Career Development, primarily working with employers interested in hiring CAHNR and CLAS students.. I am dedicated to connecting employers to top UConn talent and meeting all their recruiting needs. In addition to connecting students with employers, I assist with developing the best strategies for corporate partners and their recruiting plans, including career related events, programming, and other networking events. I have been with UConn since December 2019, and previously served as the Corporate Partner Relations Coordinator.
Things I enjoy: Although my role here at the Center for Career Development is not student facing, I do enjoy working with all the interns in our office and offering guidance when asked. It brings me nothing but joy to see our interns accepting job offers and summer internships at the end of the year and watching them reach their goals. When not at work, I enjoy reading, spending time with my family and friends, and going for walks/hikes. My favorite hike I have ever done is Cadillac Mountain in Acadia National Park.
Advice to students:
Be open to different ideas and paths. Whether it’s working in a different industry than you expected or taking the summer internship with a smaller employer vs. a Fortune 500 company. Most things you will learn during your career at UConn, and in life, can be transferable and relate to other career paths. I, for example, thought I would become a wedding planner when I first started college. I never once worked as a “wedding planner” per say, but instead worked in sales at different hotels. Those roles did indeed include working with wedding couples, although it was not the main aspect of my job. 8 years post grad, I am now working in Higher Ed, which I never thought was in my future, and very much using my sales experience while working with employers that want to recruit with UConn!
