Career & Academic Success

Students meet with me 1-1 each week to make progress on their long-term goals while working through the day-to-day realities of campus life. We begin each semester by identifying key priorities. Depending on where you are, we might work on:

Building College Success

• Adjusting to college, including new academic expectations, living away from home, and finding your community

• Building study skills and executive functioning, including time management, planning, and staying on top of deadlines

• Getting back on track after a difficult class or semester, including deciding whether to drop a class, talking with professors and advisors, and making a plan for the next semester/quarter

• Choosing a major, courses, and extracurricular activities that fit your interests and goals

• Finding balance between academics, extracurriculars, jobs/internships, and time for yourself

Career Development

• Exploring career paths, whether you have a direction in mind or not

• Finding internships, research opportunities, and other ways to build experience

• Networking at every stage of the process, from exploration to negotiating a job offer 

• Creating and refining your resume and LinkedIn profile

• Preparing for interviews 

• Navigating the full-time job search or graduate school applications

A Little More About My Approach

I am fully invested in each student I work with. Rather than following a strict checklist, we look at what makes sense for you. Then we come up with a plan, and I’m there to help you execute it and adjust it as the semester unfolds.

That might include helping you figure out managing a heavy workload, approaching a professor during office hours, navigating a challenging group project, choosing which clubs are worth your time, or getting started on an internship search.

Whether you’re a first-year adjusting to college or a senior preparing for life after graduation, I can help you figure out what comes next.
