Currently working as a Career Coach at UNL, assisting students with their career questions and helping them succeed while in college and after they graduate. I have found that career pathways are not linear and it is normal to shift careers as your interests change over time. In fact, my “dream jobs” have shifted completely since I first began college 12 years ago, as I learned and gained experiences. A few of my dream jobs over time have been: - Optometrist - Registered Dietitian - Food inspector - City council member - Community development consultant My interest in community development started when I was working with the Nutrition Education Program at Nebraska Extension. Working with limited resource populations and seeing the inequities across my city caused me to think more critically about how our community could work cohesively to solve some of these issues. I completed my master's in community development and have learned the tools needed to analyze a community, engage community members, and implement programs and policies needed to create a flourishing community. I love my city and am excited about the opportunity to positively impact its' future. Clifton Strengths - Relator, Responsibility, Empathy, Connectedness, Consistency
