What do you like about your role at UNK?

I love the opportunity to influence students as they work toward their educational experiences. By sharing professional insight, personal experience, and teaching approaches that allow students to recognize their full potential, it is a great joy to watch them pursue their career aspirations.
 

Why do you practice skills like networking, interviewing and critical feedback with students?

It is vitally important that students learn and practice these skills long before they put them to use in a professional setting. By practicing in the classroom or in one-on-one sessions, students will become more comfortable and confident when they are having their first professional experiences.
