I joined DePaul University's Career Center in June 2017. My role as a Career Specialist supporting the College of Liberal Arts & Social Sciences is to provide students and recent alumni with individual advising and dedicated workshops for self-assessment, career exploration, job/internship search strategies and applying to graduate school. My professional background includes nine years working in the advertising industry before deciding to pursue a career change into higher education. As a proud career-changer, I understand the hard work it takes to discover and pursue a fulfilling career path. While I still find the advertising world to be interesting, helping college students achieve their career aspirations is my passion.
