Meet the Team

Meet with one of our Career Counsellors to discuss your career concerns! 

Hello! I'm Jeanne. I am down-to-earth, quick to laugh, love hearing life stories and singing my heart out!  

For those who feel lost in your career, that was me in my 20's. I didn't find myself until... wait for it... I was sent to a career counselor. There, I saw how I could help people reach their full potential, using my people skills and life experience. 

Within a year, I earned my Career and Work Counselor diploma and landed a job in a non-profit employment agency. When I decided I wanted to help university students find careers they'll love, I began a job search advisor position at York’s Career Centre, and started my Master’s in Counseling Psychology, part-time. When I graduated in 2011, a career counselor position opened at the Career Centre, and I happily stepped into my dream job! 

My career advice to you is to remain open, curious and reflective on your journey. Remember that everything works out in the end. And if it hasn’t, then it’s not the end! (John Lennon, adapted from an old Indian proverb) 

Do you need support with your job search, either your career after graduation, a part-time or summer job while you're at York? Are you unsure how to develop your strategy? Do you need feedback on your resumé or interview practice? 

Meet with one of our Career Educators to support you in your job search! 

I am a career professional with nearly a decade of experience providing career, co-op placement and employment advising to students in a fast-paced post-secondary environment. In my current position as a career educator at the York University Career Centre, I educate students with the best of strategies and insights on how to navigate the world of work.  

My academic background includes a Canadian equivalent BA in English Honours spanning three years, complemented by a Bachelor of Education (BEd) obtained in India. I am also a graduate of the Career Development Practitioner Postgraduate program from George Brown College in Toronto, and an award-recipient of the 'Excellence in Counselling' Award 2014. 

As someone deeply involved in the realm of career development, I find great resonance in the words of Steve Jobs: "Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do."
