Why I love working here:
As someone who has spent years in Industry as a Recruiter, I wanted a chance to help students become as prepared as possible to interface with employers. With the increased competition to land a job, you need every tool available to be successful. I love helping students discover and use the tools that work, and see them successfully get their first job.
Quote I live by:
"And this above all, to thine own self be true." from Hamlet
Advice for Students:
Don't wait to connect with employers and alumni while in school. The more touch points you have with them, the more they will remember you and be willing to help you or offer you a chance to prove yourself and land that job. Don't be afraid to ASK! Ask for things like industry tours, informational interviews, connections, advice in preparing for their industry, etc. Remember, you don't get 100% of the things you don't ask for.
Favorite BYU Ice Cream Flavor:
Bishops Bash
What I love doing when I’m not at work:
Family, Fly Fishing, Hiking, Skiing, and Music.
