Associate Director for Employer & Community Connections
After navigating a variety of professional experiences, I discovered my passion for career services at the UW Career & Internship Center. For my first five years in the center, I managed UW’s Handshake platform and supported students, employers, and campus partners in their use of the online recruitment system.
In my current role, I oversee the Employer & Community Connections team that manages contact with thousands of employers annually, both in-person and virtually, through Handshake, career fairs, information sessions, mentorship programs, alumni panels, internship program support, and employer training webinars. How can we help you make your next great hire?
I am a graduate of Gonzaga University’s School of Business but am happy to be a Husky as well. In my free time, I enjoy running, hiking, and traveling.
