My Career Journey
I developed the interest of working with students in a diverse and vibrant environment during my junior year at Binghamton University. Originally, my degree was in linguistics and I had thought about the possibility of continuing on in this field. However, I just became so passionate about being a student worker at different campus offices that I eventually decided to go to graduate school and earn a master's degree in student affairs. Working with students has always been a rewarding endeavor to me, and I truly enjoy witnessing students’ growth along with my own professional development. During my time as a graduate student at New York University, I actively sought different internship and assistantship opportunities, and have gained valuable experiences in a variety of functional areas including student engagement, admissions, service programs, and career coaching. When it comes to the point of job searching, I aspired to land my first employment opportunity in career coaching, because I have been deeply mesmerized by the way it allows me to learn so many interesting and inspiring life stories from students. I am grateful that I chose JMU!
