About

With a passion for connecting people to careers they are passionate about, I am always eager to help others find their fit and maximize their potential. I love to hear people’s backgrounds and explore where their stories could lead next.

In my current role, I specialize in career development for business students while helping students explore, create, and articulate their career plans in order to find fulfillment in their professional lives. I oversee the Professional Enhancement Program (PrEP), ensuring our curriculum will help students transition successfully into today's workforce through research hiring trends and engaging with employer partners. Additionally, I lead our BSAD 395: Professional Internship course, providing students the opportunity to gain academic credit for their internship experiences. In my previous positions within the office, I spearheaded and co-led the Business Career Center's Peer Career Coaching Program, which was recognized by the Career Leadership Collective as an Innovation Showcase Winner in 2019.
