Alison supports all students, but with a focus on School of Communications students, with their professional development.  She advises students in one-on-one appointments and can assist with resumes and cover letters, career/major exploration, interview prep, job and internship search, LinkedIn, and e-portfolios.  Her goal is to proactively inform, guide, and empower students so they can problem-solve, make informed decisions, and develop holistically, allowing them to reach their full potential. 

Alison is also a Gallup-Certified Strengths Coach (her strengths are Context, Achiever, Learner, Harmony, and Analytical).  She has led interactive workshops for students and staff members to help individuals and teams discover the value that strengths can bring to their personal and professional lives.  If your team or student organization is interested in a Strengths workshop, feel free to reach out!
