I am a career counselor! I have been working for the Racine Workforce Development Center as a Career Counselor since 2008. I assist job seekers with all aspects of career exploration, career assessment, and job search. Prior to my position at WDC, I taught Public Speaking through an assistantship at University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. I gained valuable experience in curriculum development, teaching, and career development. I have a MA in Communication (with a focus on intercultural communication and organizational communication) from UW-Milwaukee as well as a BA in Communication and Spanish from UW-Oshkosh. I enjoy travel, hiking, camping, time with family, and my dog Harvey.
I thoroughly enjoyed the Career Development Facilitator (CDF) program. My CDF instructor (Marie Smith) prepared and delivered well organized curriculum, impressive content, and useful/timely feedback. I am proud to be a CDF! I also earned the Certified Resume Writer and Editor (CRWE) certificate. I thoroughly enjoyed our resume conversations! Wonderful program! Wonderful instructor! I also earned the Certified Career Coach certificate! The information was so useful and so relevant! I always enjoy my conversations with Marie Smith!
