How did you get here?
I have several years of experience in higher education, including teaching writing at community colleges, supporting postgrad surgery residents at a trauma hospital, and working as an education coordinator and career advisor at a design and fashion school. Before my higher education roles, I worked at nonprofit organizations in New York City where I did community outreach, tutored primary and secondary students in homeless shelters, and assisted unhoused young adults with finding jobs and internships. As a result of these experiences, I realized I wanted to continue helping students navigate their academic and career paths. Now, I am excited to support students and the BCE Team career educators at BCE in the best ways I can.
What’s the best career advice anyone has given you?
Do not be afraid to put yourself out there and connect with people who are in the industries that interest you. Research companies/organizations and ask yourself: Why do I want to be a part of this company/organization?
Interests/Hobbies
In my free time, I like to read fiction and poetry, write stories, listen to music, hike, do yoga, and travel.
