Mentoring Objectives & Scope
The Albers Career Center played a significant role in helping place me in my career throughout my undergraduate experience at Seattle University. I'm happy to give back in any way I can - whether it's helping students think through potential career paths, areas of focus and/or general work-life balance.
When and where do you hold meetings with your students?
A mixture of in-person and virtual. Typically midweek - around lunch or late afternoon. Preferably in South Lake Union (Seattle, WA).
Additional Information
I'm a Pacific Northwest native, born and raised in Edmonds, WA. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with friends, playing soccer and catching up on shows, podcasts and stand-up.
