About Me:
I am excited to collaborate with UMSI students to help them explore their career interests and reach their career goals! As the Assistant Director of Undergraduate Career Education, I work primarily with Bachelor of Science in Information (BSI) and Accelerated Master's Degree Program (AMDP) students. The core components of my role include career coaching, workshops, managing the internship program for BSI and AMDP students, teaching career courses, and working with the UMSI peer coaches.

I'm passionate about creating inclusive and psychologically safe spaces where others feel comfortable asking questions. I won't always have the answer, but if I don't, I'm eager to work together to find the answer. I am also dedicated to prioritizing well-being and professional development in the workplace. I strive to prioritize these areas with others on my team and also help students find workplaces where they can grow and thrive!

Feel free to connect with me on LinkedIn.
