Career Coaching, Events, and Resources

Internships are confusing. With most students being expected to figure them out with zero guidance. I’m here to change that! Together, we’ll clarify your long-term goals, identify internships that actually move you toward them, and build a realistic plan for applying with confidence. I’ll support you through every step of the process, from figuring out what to apply for, to crafting strong applications, to navigating interviews and next steps. I’m especially passionate about helping students who don’t already have built-in access, insider knowledge, or a clear roadmap. Internships can be powerful — but only when they’re intentional. My goal is to help you use them strategically, not randomly. If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how internships fit into your bigger picture, I’d love to work with you.
