I no longer work in Career Services at Michigan Tech. If you need to contact me, please do so via LinkedIn or the email address below.
From July 2022 to August 2024, I was part of the career education team, and I used this website to share resources with the Huskies I met. During that time, I also worked on creating a career curriculum and resource repository, which you can now find on Canvas. This website includes some of the same resources along with a selection of presentations I gave in my time with Career Services.
These are articles that I found around the Web that I thought might be interesting to my students. Some are related to career education; some are not.
