Recruiting Coordinator, Employer Relations

As Recruiting Coordinator, I support the Tufts Career Center Recruiting program, including hosting career fairs, arranging on-campus interviews, and managing the Handshake job posting platform. Prior to Tufts, I worked for several years with high school students in New York City, leading workshops on various professional development skills and supporting them through paid, mentored internships. I graduated from Smith School for Social Work in 2016, where I earned my LMSW and worked as a counselor in the San Francisco Art Institute counseling center. I also hold a BA in psychology from Skidmore College.

Most interesting/unusual job: I spent a summer in college working at a cupcake stand at the racetrack in Saratoga Springs. I bet on horses during my breaks and never won any money, but I did eat my weight in cupcake frosting!
