Please tell us about what you are currently doing. <\/strong><\/p>\n

I am currently working at ÌÇÐÄvlog as a Career Advisor and Employer Relations Specialist at the College of Science and Mathematics.<\/p>\n

Why did you choose this field of study? Why did you choose the program at ÌÇÐÄvlog? <\/strong><\/p>\n

I chose the field of counseling because I realized how important mental health is and how much of a difference a good and competent counselor can do. I chose the program at Montclair because it was accredited, and I knew how important that would be for any future career decisions that I made. While doing my research Montclair State had a great counseling program and it was close enough to home that I could still work full time and go to school. I had an amazing academic advisor during my undergrad and it clicked that I wanted to work in Higher Ed. So I chose the Higher Ed concentration.<\/p>\n

What were the best parts of your program? <\/strong><\/p>\n

The best parts of the program for me were the class discussions. I loved it when the professors would open up a discussion and we would all talk about our opinions and thoughts on a certain topic. I feel that I learned just as much from my peers as I did from the professors. I feel that it also helped us realize how important it is for us to have a support system and soundboard where we could bounce off ideas.<\/p>\n

What was your favorite class or experience in the program, and why was that so important to you? <\/strong><\/p>\n

My favorite experience was practicum and internship. Technically I was doing a career change and practicum and internship was an amazing way for me to get hands-on experience in the field I wanted to get into. So even though I huffed and puffed about having to get another job, it\u2019s an experience that I would not have traded for anything in the world.<\/p>\n

Now that you are working in your field, how did your program prepare you for this position? <\/strong><\/p>\n

My program prepared me because it gave me a great foundation that I use in my job every day. It gave me the techniques and experience that I would need when working with students.<\/p>\n

Is there anything else you\u2019d like to share about your program, the College of Education & Human Services, or ÌÇÐÄvlog that we haven\u2019t asked about? <\/strong><\/p>\n

One thing about ÌÇÐÄvlog is that they really value their alumni because they understand that they are producing quality professionals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
