A Note from Kathleen:
My background is in post-secondary teaching, the law, and nonprofits. I have been involved in higher education for many years in a variety of capacities from teaching, club advising, and various administrative roles as well which have included working with internships and experiential learning ops. Yet, I know there is still much to learn.
Personally, I have a diverse ethnic background and from a student's perspective I have been a 2-year, 4-year and graduate student. So hopefully they can relate to me in that aspect. I have lived in and amongst the different socio-economic classes as well. I like to believe I am well rounded, but more importantly grounded in the ways that count -- being kind, respecting folks, working as a team, and promoting education, always.
I am excited to begin my new role as Assistant Director for Employer Partnerships, especially with the support of amazing colleagues. My prior role as the Internship & Experiential Learning Coordinator for almost the past five years has provided me with connections with our students, external constituents and a variety of HACC’s faculty and staff. I will continue building relationships with employer partners, growing experiential learning and internship experiences along with employment opportunities including student employment programming for HACC students and graduates. I look forward to both established and new collaborations with all of you!
