What is your favorite thing about working at Binghamton University?
The collaborative spirit here is incredible, and the energy and enthusiasm that the students bring is contagious. I love being part of the Fleishman Center Team, who are all so committed to helping students discover their potential, develop their skills, and prepare for impactful careers. Seeing students grow and achieve their dreams is incredibly rewarding.
What was your first internship or job?
My first job was a cashier at a local grocery store, but most of my early work history was in the service industry. I worked my way from a host, to server, to bartender, to manager throughout undergrad locally while attending SUNY Broome and at the University of Rhode Island. I have since hung up my service industry non-slip shoes.
What are you passionate about?
I am passionate about helping the community through advocacy for access to food, transportation, housing, employment and other Social Determinant of Health (SDoH) needs. My career path has been deeply rooted in community connection. I have developed an ability to connect with diverse populations, advocating for their health benefits and understanding their unique needs. Growing up locally has given me unique insights into the community’s challenges and opportunities.
I also enjoy baking, gardening, and staying active.
What is your best piece of career or professional advice?
Build genuine relationships, not just networks. Networking isn’t about collecting business cards or LinkedIn connections—it’s about creating meaningful, authentic professional relationships. Focus on how you can add value to others, be genuinely interested in their goals and challenges, and approach every interaction with authenticity and generosity. The most powerful professional opportunities often come from relationships built on mutual respect and genuine connection.
