Professional Bio
Professional Involvement
I have been with the University of Florida's Career Connections Center (C3; formerly Career Resource Center) since 2013 and I remain committed to providing students with the resources necessary for successful navigation through life after The Swamp.
I currently serve as the Associate Director for Student Engagement for the C3. In this role, I provide strategic leadership and supervision for several staff members embedded in colleges and departments across the institution. I also co-lead the development and implementation of our department's student engagement efforts.
I approach my professional work from a critical perspective. My invocation of the word critical is not synonymous with the colloquial use of the word. Possessing a critical lens does not require one to be unnecessarily cynical or pessimistic. Being critical means that I am attentive to the impact that power and privilege have across a variety of contexts, and I actively seek to disrupt any barriers to equity and student success.
