Biography
I am the Assistant Director of Professional & Life Skills in the Business Career Center and direct BSAD 444, designed to successfully empower business students to transition from college to career or post-college pursuits. I teach the Employment Readiness Certificate course where international students learn about US work culture and gain career skills and professional opportunities. I lead the Employer in Residence program which allows employers to increase their brand awareness and connect with College of Business students about internships and full-time positions.
I completed my Masters degree in International Family Studies in December 2020 and am a strong international student advocate, seeking to enhance the educational and community experiences of students from all countries. I loves ethnic food, stories of culturally diverse family life, and encouraging others in their unique value.
Before joining Nebraska Business in August 2019, I worked at UNL Confucius Institute, UNL Procurement Services, and the College of Arts and Sciences. Campus areas of involvement include Staff Senate, #NCLUDE, staff professional development, and international student RSO advising.
