Brief Biographical Sketch:

As a higher education professional, I have 8+ years of experience in instruction, advising, research, and administration with Matriculate, Columbia University, Johns Hopkins, and City University of New York (CUNY).

I am currently Assistant Director of Career Services at Hostos CUNY.

Prior to my transition to Assistant Director, for over two years, I served as a Workforce Development Coordinator and Career Services Advisor at CUNY. There, my strong education and communications background and skills in office management, student engagement, data analytics, and sector-specific technology tools have helped me better serve the students of New York.

I also earned a Master of Arts in English and Comparative Literature and a Bachelor of Arts in three fields from Columbia University in the City of New York. I love learning, reading (up to 500+ wpm), and taking any excuse to learn something new. I also enjoy editing and proofreading opportunities and am happy to review resumes.
