Student Staff

Hi! I am a junior, majoring in Spanish and minoring in Education and Global Studies. Last semester I interned with the Fleishman Center and am now a Senior Peer Consultant. My pronouns are she/her/hers and I am from Kingston, NY (which is an hour south of Albany). My plans for the future include becoming a high school Spanish teacher and teaching English abroad. After I graduate in 2023, I plan on taking a gap year and then getting my Masters in Teaching, but I have recently taken an interest in Student Affairs – so who knows!

What are you passionate about?

The most rewarding experience is knowing that I gave somebody the tools they needed to succeed. Whether it’s through advice or resources, I love helping others grow.

What is your best piece of career or professional advice?

Being able to say “no, this isn’t for me” (to a major, job, university, etc.) is just as good as a “yes, this is for me.”

What clubs/organizations are you involved in?

Spanish Language Coordinator for International Language Association
TRIO Mentor for SSS
Phi Sigma Sigma member

I am a senior from New York City studying Political Science and Human Development with minors in Spanish and Immigration Studies. At Fleishman, I am a Senior Peer Consultant and the Student Director of Programming. I hope to purse a career that combines my passions for public service and global affairs.

What are you passionate about?

I am passionate about helping others. I love working at Fleishman because I get to meet so many students and encourage them to reflect on their wonderful experiences here at Binghamton.

What is your best piece of career or professional advice?

What you think you want isn’t always what’s best for you. I got this advice as I was applying to colleges. It reminds me to be open to possibilities I hadn’t previously considered.

What clubs/organizations are you involved in?

I am the captain of the Binghamton Women’s Club Rugby Team and the Chief Justice of the Student Association’s Judicial Board. When I lived on campus, I was heavily involved in Hinman in Hughes Hall Government and the Public Service Learning Community.

Hello! My name is Ross (he/him/his). I am a sophomore from Port Washington, NY double majoring in Statistics and Business Administration and minoring in Computer Science. I will be a Student Experience consultant this semester and I am extremely excited to join the team! I am still unsure of what career path I would like to pursue but I am interested in STEM education, data science, and financial engineering. In my free time, I like to play basketball or watch old movies.

What are you passionate about? 

I am passionate about making college more accessible and rewarding for less fortunate students. I believe that each and every student should receive the same opportunities and resources regardless of their background.

What is your best piece of career or professional advice?

Always be open to new experiences. College is a time to explore and really see where your interests and values lie, and the best way to do that is to not limit yourself to one discipline or activity and take advantage of what Binghamton has to offer.

My name is Emily Ziemba, and my pronouns are she/her/hers! Originally from Buffalo, New York; I completed my undergraduate degree at SUNY Oswego, where I studied public relations and business administration. Now, I am a graduate student in my first year of the Student Affairs Administration program at Binghamton! Here, I serve as a Career Engagement Graduate Assistant within the Fleishman Center. This has allowed me the opportunity to work one-on-one with students to enhance their skill-sets, encourage their professional development, and create documents, like resumes, that highlight their capabilities. I am unsure of where exactly I would like to end up after I graduate in two years, but I know it is somewhere I can continue doing work like this.

What are you passionate about?

In a broad sense, my passion is helping others. The leadership positions I have held in the past have allowed me to work with college students during their transition to college life, or during their career exploration journey. Being able to serve as a guide during these unknown times in a student’s life is beyond satisfying, I thrive off being someone they can go to for advice or for a laugh.

What is your best piece of career or professional advice?

The best advice I can give is to get involved early. I went into my undergraduate career with a major in journalism. The dream was to become a reporter for the New York Times after graduation. Eager to explore, I joined the student newspaper where I could gain practical experience. After a semester or so, I realized I wanted something more than writing and reporting. I wanted more human interaction, and this realization allowed me to switch my major early! Getting involved will introduce you to all the amazing opportunities ahead, and you’ll learn what you enjoy doing. I ended up changing my major to public relations; this allowed me to continue writing, while also having more opportunities to network directly and work with others.

Whether in terms of academia, physical and mental wellness, or human rights, I believe every person in the world should have access to resources that will allow them to live a fulfilling life.

What is your best piece of career or professional advice?

My best career/professional advice is: Take advantage of the resources and network available to you in college. As college students, we are surrounded by resources curated by professionals and tailored to the specific needs of students.
