I accepted a summer position as an academic advisor at Penn State, where I supported first-year and international students. Shortly afterward, I started my first year as a middle school counselor\u2014a role I absolutely loved! I enjoyed building relationships with students and guiding them through such a pivotal time in their lives. A few years later, when COVID hit, I transitioned to working virtually as a high school counselor. This experience deepened my passion for college and career advising as I helped students plan for life after high school. I realized I wanted to focus on career advising full time, and when the opportunity to move into higher education came along, I knew I had to take it.<br><br>Prior to joining URI, I spent a year and a half working as a career coach at a small liberal arts college. I look forward to drawing on my background in psychology, education, and mental health to guide and support my students.<br><br><strong>When not supporting career and experiential education at URI, you will find me:<\/strong><br>Exploring New England, enjoying a good book on the beach, and going on nature hikes with my partner and our Australian Shepherd mix, Teddy.&nbsp;<br><br><strong>What Strength, Value, or Personality trait do you identify with most and why?<\/strong> The strength I connect with most is Relator. I love building deep, meaningful relationships and really value trust and loyalty. This helps me in my role as a Career Education Specialist because I enjoy getting to know students, supporting their growth, and celebrating their wins along the way!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":618,"featured_media":54108,"parent":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"peoplegroups":[508,594,675,711,771,669],"class_list":["post-54101","people","type-people","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","peoplegroups-ces","peoplegroups-communicative-disorders","peoplegroups-human-development-and-family-sciences","peoplegroups-nursing","peoplegroups-psychology","peoplegroups-public-health"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/career\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/people\/54101","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\/54101\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":54125,"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/career\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/people\/54101\/revisions\/54125"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/career\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/54108"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/career\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=54101"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"peoplegroups","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/career\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/peoplegroups?post=54101"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
