One of the most rewarding parts of my job is watching students grow and achieve their goals over time. They arrive at college with aspirations, whether it\u2019s a dream job or graduate school, and I have the privilege of supporting them along that journey. Seeing them secure their first research opportunity or internship, land their dream role and reach important milestones along the way is consistently a highlight of my work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our office is far more than a one-trick pony. We\u2019re not just here for resume reviews or interview prep. We offer advising appointments and host events for students at every stage, from first-year through senior year, covering all aspects of their career journey. I created and host a weekly workshop series, Grub Club, that takes students step-by-step through the layers of preparation and execution for recruiting and application cycles. Additionally, this academic year we organized 139 events including workshops, panels, club collaborations, employer visits, career fairs and treks. We\u2019re truly committed to supporting students every step of the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If I could swap jobs with someone for a day, it would be with Dominic Indolino. I earned my bachelor\u2019s degree in marketing communication and still enjoy the marketing elements I get to incorporate into my current role. That said, seeing Dominic out at major campus events capturing moments of joy, connection and community always looks incredibly exciting. I\u2019d love the chance to step back into full \u201cmarketing mode\u201d for a day and experience that creative, on-the-ground storytelling firsthand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I love the build-your-own salad station, and it is a cherry-on-top when crinkle-cut fries are being served on the same day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pilates! Before pilates, I was only doing typical gym lifts, so it has been an exciting new experience challenging myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I love food, so either finding a new restaurant to try or going to a favorite spot always helps me decompress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I started to learn how to golf a few months ago, and it has been a process to say the least. However, it’s always fun to get out to a range or course and try my best.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
