For the past four years, I have served as the Director of the Office of Career Services and Cooperative Education. I have experience creating partnerships with companies and organizations that hire RIT students for co-ops and full-time opportunities. I am a key collaborator in creating and establishing RIT’s International Experience Co-op/Internship Program. Today my primary responsibility is overseeing RIT’s Co-op program, one of the oldest and most prominent in the US. I manage a team of 30 full-time Career Services Professionals and the Student Employment Office. On average, my team is responsible for coordinating 6,200 co-op assignments for 4,400 students per year.
