Meet the Career Education & Development Team
Are you having difficulty deciding on a career path? Or, are you unsure how your degree may relate to your future career?
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!
As a career educator, I bring a unique blend of expertise to guide post-secondary students and recent graduates through their job search journey. I hold a bachelor's degree in Law, an Architectural Technician diploma, and a postgraduate Career and Work Counselling diploma. Picture this: a blend of legal wisdom and design savvy, enriched with career education magic! With solid experience in career development, I'm here for YOU, no matter your major or minor. My passion? Revealing the unique potential in every student. I believe success isn't one-size-fits-all, and you can define it on your terms, just pursue it with determination, and celebrate every milestone!
