Career Development Team

Skilled in Career and Mental Health Counseling, Student Development, Communication, Critical Thinking, and Social Justice, I am passionate about the engagement I have with current Students and Alumni.

As a Career Counselor, I will be supporting you in developing strong resume & cover letters, advising and providing relevant resources to make effective decisions around your major and career exploration, and help prep you for the job hunt.

I am an alum from St. Kate’s! Ask me about my experience :)

I love to problem-solve and be a career development resource to students and grads. See me with internship questions or to receive help with choosing a major, career planning, resume and job search assistance. I have a breadth of previous experience working in non-profits, healthcare and business that is beneficial to guiding students and grads through the career development process. I can be additionally helpful to alumni that are in the midst of career transition to find a new path or prepare for a new job search.
