Career Counselor

Education

I thrive on helping individuals develop a toolset that will bring forth more career satisfaction. Being a career counselor incorporates my curiosity of business, my knowledge of how the hiring process works, and my desire to help others. Much like a number of graduating college students, I had an idea what my ambition in life was–mine was to help others. Unfortunately, I had no idea how to realize my ambition. Through a series of random events, I am happy to have found my career home. This seemingly meandering path has helped me understand that it can be easy to lose focus. I draw upon this experience to understand others. I am always asking myself “How am I going to make a difference?
