I am currently an adjunct business advisor and love meeting with students to help them plan their academics and career. I started my career in Human Resources as part of Lockheed Martin's Leadership Development Program. Following my passion for higher education, I transitioned to Carlson School of Management at University of Minnesota to work in their Career Center with graduate business students. The past 10 years I have worked as a Senior Career Counselor at Capella University where I develop programming and resources to support business students with reaching their career goals. I am currently the President of Career Professionals of Iowa.
