A bit about Karen … 
I love helping students figure out which career path is the best fit for them. I work with students to create resumes, cover letters, find internship and job opportunities, and improve networking and interviewing skills, including preparation for technical finance and consulting case interviews.
I grew up in Rhode Island and majored in Finance at the College of William and Mary. After college, I worked in management consulting at PricewaterhouseCoopers and in project management at CIGNA. I completed a Master’s degree in Higher Education Management at the University of Pennsylvania. Prior to joining the Tufts Career Center in 2007, I worked as the Associate Director of Career Services for Wharton Undergraduates. I am excited to continue building relationships with Tufts students and aim to meet students where they are, academically, professionally, and personally. Outside of work, I love to run, hike, play tennis, and spend time with my 3 kids.
My most interesting/unusual job: Writing interface and data conversion computer programs during my consulting days!
A bit about Kathy …
I am thrilled to join the Tufts Career Center to help students prepare & navigate through their job searches. I bring 20+ years’ experience working in every aspect of Corporate & Independent Talent Acquisition within the Financial Services & Technology industries. I’ve overseen the hiring of thousands of professionals over the course of my career. I spent 10+ years in house at Fortune 100 Financial Services Companies & Tech startups leading the Talent Acquisition functions while always remaining a hands-on recruiter.
I am a first-generation college student from suburban Boston and earned a degree in Finance from Villanova University. I have a passion for entrepreneurial endeavors and have started, run & sold a few small businesses of my own. I also enjoy helping individuals advocate for themselves, particularly when it comes to negotiating pay & job offers in general. Outside of work, I specialize in being a taxi driver and hockey & dance mom for my two children. I love live music, live sports & skiing!
My most interesting/unusual job: I worked for the postal service delivering mail one summer during college! Professionally, my most interesting job was leading Talent Acquisition for a Tech company scaling & going public in the middle of a global pandemic.
