Throughout my career, I have made pivots and adjustments to find great opportunities to grow both personally and professionally. Helping people and solving problems are core foundations to who I am as a person, and working in careers that allow me to do that has be rewarding and fulfilling! I pride myself on being a creative problem-solver that can improve processes and efficiency. I’ve even had a colleague coin the term “high work metabolism” to refer to how I am able to get a lot accomplished in a short period of time, without sacrificing accuracy or quality in my work.I’ve been fortunate to work at private and public institutions, in a number of different roles. Most of the past 8 years have been in the realm of career development! I’ve worked as a student-facing professional, coaching and guiding students to explore, evaluate, and align professional goals and careers. I’ve also worked with employers to help them connect with students through creative and engaging campus recruitment efforts. The best part of my career so far has been mentoring and supporting other professional staff, either as a colleague or supervisor, and elevating those around me to be their best professional selves. As a lifelong learner, I am excited about what my future holds. I continually challenge myself to be better, seeking improvement pathways both personally and professionally. I look forward to continuing to learn, grow, improve, and lead in my roles, as well as develop holistically. Being creative, outside-the-box, and collaborative are all aspects that I continue to bring to any team.If you are looking for career advice or looking to recruit our incredible students, connect with me here or email me at cwashko2@kent.edu.
