Career Journey<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When I arrived to URI I was unsure of what I wanted to do, I come from a smaller family in southern Rhode Island and I was the first one to go to college. A lot was new to me and I picked my major to try and make a difference in the world. I got heavily involved in volunteering while I was a student and I was able to learn and see so much with the local non profits in Little Rhody. From there I was able to continue my love for civic engagement by completing AmeriCorps terms of service and then the Peace Corps in Nicaragua. I was eventually led back to working with students in the college and university setting and I made my way to Seattle to work with students pursuing STEM degrees at Seattle Central Community College. From there I landed in Career Education at the University of Washington supporting our LGBTQ+ students at the university and the community at large. I have worked as a Career Coach in multiple settings from informal support, conference settings, and tech bootcamps. I have always been passionate about helping others reach their goals and find a meaningful career that they are proud of. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When not supporting career and experiential education at URI, you will find me:<\/strong> playing video games online with friends, painting tiny portraits, lifting weights at the gym, avoiding cardio at all costs, and trying to squeeze in community involvement when I can. I also love watching cartoons and animation in my down time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Strength, Value, or Personality trait do you identify with most and why?<\/strong> The traits that I value a lot have to be the blending of intelligence and creativity. I love meeting with people who have an intrinsic curiosity to learn combined with a love of the arts. We live in a multifaceted world and I appreciate someone who can tinker with science in one moment and then fall into the fantasy of the arts in the next. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":618,"featured_media":54128,"parent":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"peoplegroups":[555,561,570,573,833,508,576,827,983,639,642,660,684,687,690,693,702,839,714,732,753,765],"class_list":["post-54096","people","type-people","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","peoplegroups-animal-science-technology","peoplegroups-aquaculture-and-fisheries-technology","peoplegroups-biological-sciences","peoplegroups-biology","peoplegroups-biotechnology","peoplegroups-ces","peoplegroups-cell-and-molecular-biology","peoplegroups-clinical-neuroscience","peoplegroups-dietetics","peoplegroups-environmental-and-natural-resource-management","peoplegroups-environmental-science-and-management","peoplegroups-geology-and-geological-oceanography","peoplegroups-kinesiology","peoplegroups-landscape-architecture","peoplegroups-marine-affairs","peoplegroups-marine-biology","peoplegroups-medical-lab-science-and-biotech-manufacturing","peoplegroups-molecular-neuroscience","peoplegroups-nutrition","peoplegroups-plant-sciences","peoplegroups-sustainable-agriculture-and-food-systems","peoplegroups-wildlife-and-conservation-biology"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/career\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/people\/54096","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/career\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/people"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/career\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/people"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/career\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/618"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/career\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/people\/54096\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":54124,"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/career\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/people\/54096\/revisions\/54124"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/career\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/54128"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/career\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=54096"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"peoplegroups","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/career\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/peoplegroups?post=54096"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
