Jessica Mitchell

Hello all! My name is Jessica and I am the graduate assistant for Programming, Training, and Career Consulting at the Fleishman Center. I am going into my second year in the Student Affairs Administration graduate program at Binghamton and hope to secure a career as Career Services professional when I graduate! I graduated from SUNY Oswego in 2016 with my Bachelor’s in Human Development and my heart always has a place in Oswego next to Lake Ontario. I’ve interned a lot of places, and worked for two years as a retail manager for Target before deciding to come back to grad school for Student Affairs. I am a huge Disney fan from my semester spent interning in Disney World. In my free time away from school, I love creative writing, spending time by the lake, and playing with my puppy. I can’t wait for a great year with you all!

Nicholas Vasquez

Hello everyone! This is my first year as a Senior Peer Assistant and I couldn’t be more thrilled to work in this position. This past summer I worked at Northwell Health, the largest healthcare provider in New York State, as a healthcare management intern at Zucker Hillside Hospital, a behavioral health facility. Some projects I worked on include streamlining the process of outpatient services and identifying the problems of patient access to care from an administrative and customer perspective. As an industrial engineering major, many of the process and quality improvement tools I learned in engineering provided me with a great framework on how to tackle my projects. Hopefully when I graduate, I can continue to work in the healthcare industry as a healthcare administrator or quality manager. Outside of school, I participate on Binghamton’s Ballroom Dance Team, love cooking new foods, and play tennis when the weather’s nice.
