What service would you highly recommend
students utilize from Career Services?
Drop-in
Advising is something that all students should
take advantage of as the counselors have
a plethora of knowledge and can help out with just
about any questions students have about future
careers and resumes. The counselors are friendly
and don’t bite, so be sure to stop by and
chat with them and secure some advice from them
that will help out with any questions you might
have.
What makes your current job as a career peer
advisor special for you?
A lot of the students
that stop by are in the same position that
I was in a while ago. Career
Services was able to help me out then and I want
to be able to provide the same service back.
It helps that everyone working here is amazingly
fantastic and you just can’t ask for better
coworkers.
What is your major and why did you choose this
area to study?
I’m an Aquatic Biology major because I
love working and playing in the environment and
want to understand the whole ecosystem. But I
also want to learn how to protect it and so I’m
taking a bunch of environmental studies classes
to understand the policies, laws, and history
that defines conservation. This will allow me
to have different perspectives through understanding
how the environment operates on a global scale
and knowing ways to protect it.
After graduation, what is your career goal?
At
this moment, I want to help make a difference
and volunteer my time in working with conservation
agencies and learning new skills that will make
my environmental conservation background stronger.
This way I will be an asset to an agency and
can assist them in specialized projects that
I will hopefully have the skills for.
Anything else you would like to share with students?
Don’t be shy! Just stop on by and ask
any questions you might have. If the peers can’t
answer it, we’ll direct you to a counselor
who will be able to so you’ll win either
way.
