In addition to my managerial role at the Career Services Center, I advise students on anything and everything related to careers and job search.  This includes critiquing resumes, figuring out what to with your major, interviewing effectively, and more.  You may also see me presenting at one of our many career-related workshops.

When I graduated with my Bachelor’s degree, I was one of those Psychology majors who didn’t know what they could do with just a B.A. degree.  My first job was in juvenile probation working with adolescents and their families.  After about two years of this, I went back to graduate school and got my M.A. in Counseling.  After an all-important internship in my school’s career center, I started here at UCSD as a Career Advisor.  Eventually, I moved into the role of Graduate Student Career Coordinator and then to my current role as Assistant Director of Career Development.

I thoroughly enjoy playing a small role in helping to launch the careers of bright, motivated students and alumni like you.  In particular, I take pride in seeing students gain confidence in themselves and their ability to decide on a career direction and land that first meaningful full-time position. 

Trust your own instincts and know that even though the job search process may seem overwhelming at times, you’ve got the tools to be successful if you stick with it.

I enjoy hanging out with my family, coaching my son’s baseball team, or listening to and playing music.
