\u201cThe Career Center has helped me become more confident in my career goals and given me tools and help to be able to attain those goals.\u201d This is Caitlin Marsengill<\/strong> (’20), a Public Health and Social Justice Studies double major with a Spanish minor. Advice from her Career Advisor, Hannah Pigg, helped her feel confident in her resume and cover letter as she hadn\u2019t been able to on her own. Now, Caitlin is a graduating senior and one of our Career Champions.

This year, our Career Advisors and Employer Relations team wanted to recognize students who they\u2019ve seen to be curious and passionate about their future careers as Career Champions. The award acknowledges students\u2019 demonstrated investment in their own career exploration and success. These students, like Caitlin, take what they learn in advising sessions and networking workshops into the real world. <\/em>

\u201cThe two best pieces of career advice I have received [are] from my career advisor,\u201d Caitlin says. \u201cThe first is that you should be authentic and show who you really are and share your identity in your applications and interviews because it helps both you and the place you are applying for know if it is the right fit. It is important that you feel accepted and welcome at the place you are applying to. The second is to stop overthinking it and do the thing already.\u201d

Like many Miami students, Caitlin\u2019s path to get the Career Advising help she needed wasn\u2019t an obvious one. In fact, it began at her off-campus job. \u201cCaitlin is an amazing and motivated person,\u201d says Corey Watt, Associate Director of Employer Relations at the Career Center. \u201cShe works at Kroger and we regularly chat about life, school, and her future.  This all started with a passing conversation in the produce section. I heard her speaking about jobs and internships with a co-worker. Afterwards, I introduced myself and we talked about upcoming events and available services in the Career Center.\u201d
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shortly after, Caitlin reached out to Corey for more information and scheduled her first advising appointment through Handshake. Corey continues, \u201cEven though she has transitioned to working directly with others, she enthusiastically keeps me in the loop, both at Kroger and via email. Her drive and follow through are great and her desire to turn her passions into a career are inspiring.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the future, Caitlin wants to conduct research on health disparities from an intersectional perspective, particularly in regards to sexual and reproductive health. \u201cI envision myself working within the LGBTQ+ community to work towards achieving health equity,\u201d Caitlin says. With her resume and cover letters prepared, she\u2019s ready to follow her career path to the best of her ability.
