WHO I AM
As a graduate assistant in the Cohen Career Center at William & Mary, I strive to serve students by empowering them to find the intersection of their interests, values, and skills, in pursuit of a fulfilling career.
An advocate of education at all levels, formerly I taught full-time at Paul VI Catholic High School in Fairfax, VA. Prior to joining PVI, I held editing and reporting roles for several organizations, including LivingSocial, USA Today, and The Santa Barbara News-Press.
I come alive when given opportunities to learn, collaborate, and share knowledge with others. One of the most fulfilling aspects of career development, for me, is listening to students and professionals talk passionately about the work that they are doing and where they want to go. I am thrilled when I can play a small part in helping people get to that place.
My Clifton StrengthsFinder results are: Learner, Ideation, Intellection, Input, and Connectedness.
