Why did you join the ASK Network?
It's a way to give back and I like to interact with students.
What would you say to alumni who are considering joining the ASK Network?
Do it...it's not a big time commitment and you'll likely learn at least one key thing from talking to a student.
Why were you interested in participating in the Career and Employment Services Committee?
It gives me something specific to contribute to the university. Also, I enjoy collaborating with the smart group of people on this committee.
Why did you join the ASK Network?
I enjoy talking with students about their career goals. My job as a professor of the neurosciences at a college in Maryland has been very rewarding. I have watched dozens of undergraduates who conducted research in my lab go on to graduate school and successful careers in science. I wanted to help any Puget Sound students with similar interests.
What would you say to alumni who are considering joining the ASK Network?
Talking with students who have career interests similar to mine is a very rewarding experience. Give it a try!
Why did you join the ASK Network?
I joined the ASK Network because it is a way for me to give back to the UPS Community and hopefully inspire and give students hope in the current job market.
Why were you interested in participating in the Career and Employment Services Committee?
Career and Employment Services was a valuable asset to me when I was a student at UPS. I found my first work-study job at the Broadway Center through Career and Employment Services and worked with the organization for three years as a student. After graduation, I was hired directly by the company and continue to work there today as the Associate Director of Marketing.
