How did you get here?
I have lived in the Bay Area for 26 years. I am thrilled to bring my career counseling experience to Berkeley Career Engagement. I have held roles in different industries before becoming a career counselor and recruiter. I worked with college students, new graduates, and experienced professionals to assess their unique skills and experiences, determine career goals, and develop an internship or job search plan. I wrote customized resumes and cover letters, provided training to build professional profiles, and helped individuals prepare for the interviews.
Who do you work with? What’s cool about your job?
I get to work with the amazing students in the College of Chemistry, and I feel so lucky to get a peek into each student’s diverse background and work with them one-on-one in pursuing their career goals.
What’s the best career advice anyone has given you?
Looking for a job can feel overwhelming, but you are not alone in the process. Leverage your network and the resources, tools, and services available to you to make the process more manageable.
