Meet the Peer Career Coaches
The Career Studio utilizes a peer-to-peer coaching model where students are given the opportunity to receive career coaching from fellow students. This program not only benefits students by receiving valuable information from their peers, but is a great avenue for the student coaches to gain experience. Through their position, student coaches gain a deeper understanding of navigating the career world, while also helping their fellow students along the way.
Jeremi Aubin
Jeremi is a Psychology major from Sudbury, Ontario, Canada. After meeting the Career Studio Director, he realized becoming a peer career coach was the right fit for him. “I knew this was going to be an amazing and positive environment, where people can learn about future careers, and have fun at the same time.”
His number one goal as a career coach is to serve as a mentor for fellow students as they navigate a future career path. “I want to help as many students as I can. I love to help my fellow peers in order for them to secure as much success as they can. If I can do that on a daily basis, I would accomplish my goals every day.”
In his role as a coach, Jeremi wants students across campus to understand the career studio can be a valuable resource. “I find it very important for students because we offer a lot of information on building a resume and identifying what future employers are looking for in a resume. The resources we can deliver can help you land a second interview, and potentially the job.”
Jocelyn Lopez
Jocelyn is a Business Management major from Las Vegas, NV. Helping others was a driving force in her decision to pursue a peer career coaching position. “I wanted to become part of a good group on campus and help out my peers.
In her work as a career coach, Jocelyn wants to leave a lasting impact on those around her. “I hope I establish long term friendships and be able to work well with others.”
Jocelyn recognizes the value in taking advantage of all the opportunities the Career Studio can provide, and hopes other students will recognize those opportunities as well. “The Career Studio is an important part of campus because it has so many resources that can help students when they determine a future career.”
