Eric’s Public Service & Administration Qualifications
Experience level: Director
Hi there service-minded friends! I'd be glad to share the lessons I've learned from my own journey away from and back toward public service and administration. Most recently, I've spent time in state government, with a nonprofit in the service-minded career pathways space, and with an impact-minded for-profit organization too. So I'm always eager to explore and guide folks through the many angles by which service can find its way into a career. Holler if I can be of help!
