Meet Our Career Assistants

Hello! My name is Evelyn Nigon and I am currently a sophomore English and Communications major at St. Kate’s. I am from Faribault Minnesota but really enjoy living and exploring the cities during the school year.  Some of my favorite things to do include climbing, reading, kayaking, and spending time with friends. I have participated in the clay club on campus, but with all of the crazy changes that occurred last spring, I lost the chance to join other clubs and activities, like the study abroad program, which I plan to participate in sometime next year!

Here in the Career Development Center office, my main focus is on posting information to our social media sites.  I create graphics, organize, and schedule all of the content that we share.  My goal is to make our social media platforms a place where it is easy to find information about career development and events we are sponsoring.  Much of the information shared on social media are condensed versions of resources we offer in the Career Development Center. If anything strikes your interest, reach out to us.  Chances are good that we have more in-depth information!

Most often I can be found in the back offices of the Career Development Center and would love to assist you in any way. The Career Development office is here to make your career aspirations more easily attainable, so we would love to meet you!

Hi! My name is Mandy Hay, and I am an English and Communication Studies double major with a minor in Psychology. I am currently a sophomore at St. Kate’s. My hometown is Hutchinson, Minnesota, a small town in the country.  My favorite things to do include writing, singing, reading, working out, and having fun with the people that I love. After college, I see myself working in publishing or media, and I hope to write a book of some kind eventually. I am looking forward to adopting a dog with my boyfriend Collin and traveling all around the world. Typically, you can find me writing articles for The Wheel, singing in the St. Catherine University Women’s Choir, working as an Orientation Leader, and ushering at the O’Shaughnessy theater. I also work as a lifeguard and swim instructor in the summer.

In the Career Development Center, I spend most of my time working at the front desk, checking students in for appointments, and taking calls. However, my most significant strengths are organization and written communication. Because of this, jobs such as creating calendars for the office and answering emails are my forte.   I love working as a part of the Career Development team, and I am always willing and eager to answer any questions about our office and what we offer for students, whether I am sitting at the front desk or walking to class.

Hello ! My name is Aisha Mohamed, and my major is in respiratory care. I am a third-year student at St.Kate’s but started the program this fall. I am from Minneapolis, MN. I like to spend my free time with family and friends, and I love to travel. My goal after graduation is to become a Registered Respiratory Therapist as well as a future educator for others interested in the field.

As a Career Assistant, my goal is to guide students to the resources they need, whether it’s setting up career counseling appointments or tips on using Handshake. Regardless of a student’s career development needs, I make sure to connect them with the staff member that can best assist them. Don’t hesitate to seek out The Career Development Center for questions ranging from selecting your major to possible career choices. Start early and come to us often on your journey through St Kate’s.

Hello! My name is Tia Yang, and I am a sophomore here at St.Kate’s. I am working on a double major in business administration and marketing with a minor in integrated marketing communications and design. I grew up in Minneapolis, Minnesota and the thing that I love to do the most is trying out new food or drinks at different restaurants and cafes.  I also like to spend my free time designing press on nails, reading, and babysitting.

My goal in the Career Development Center is to connect students with career resources they need and also help to make the environment as friendly as possible. We are not that scary, so visit us and learn about career possibilities and job or internship opportunities that we offer to students.
