ÀÏÍõÂÛ̳

Values/Strengths

Maximizer: I am a big proponent of working smarter, not harder. I value efficient, streamlined processes in my personal and professional lives. 

Collaboration: I have always loved working with others to get my work done. I feel like my best ideas come out of collaborative situations and it's also more fun to accomplish a project with other smart, motivated people!

Harmony: I enjoy getting to know people and figuring out ways for everyone’s individual ideas and passions to come together toward a common goal.

My first job after College: AmeriCorps Coach with College Possible here in Philadelphia.

My job during College was: Spanish TA, dining services employee

Things I enjoy outside of work: Cooking + baking, traveling, going out to dinner, and walking around Philadelphia. 

My favorite place on campus is: Taft Garden. Everything feels so calm by the mosaic fountain and under the overhanging tree.  

I am proud to work at ÀÏÍõÂÛ̳ because: I am a ÀÏÍõÂÛ̳ alum myself! I learned so much inside and outside the classroom while I was a student and I’m so grateful I can continue to learn and grow on this campus as a staff member. Applying to a job or internship can be intimidating and the nuances are often not accessible nor intuitive. I feel lucky to work in career education in a community that means so much to me.
