University Advisor

Tell us something interesting about your background.

I have recently graduated from Santa Clara University’s Counseling Master’s program. During my graduate studies, I was working with two departments at SCU: the Career Center & Campus Ministry. At the Career Center, I was a graduate career counseling intern and was a mindfulness graduate assistant for Campus Ministry. Before starting at SCU, I was working at a non-profit fair housing agency for 3 years where I did social media and marketing.

What has led you to your current role?

After completing my undergrad, I knew I wanted to pursue a career where I could work with others and have a positive impact. I felt that the university environment would give me an opportunity to help others navigate college life. As an academic counselor, I would have the opportunity to empower students on their journey to completing and accomplishing their educational and career goals.

In your spare time, what do you enjoy doing?

- Exploring new coffee shops
- Listening to Podcasts
