Nyob zoo! It’s great to be at Augsburg Nyob zoo! Hello! It’s great to be at Augsburg with the Strommen Center for Meaningful Work. I am the Career Services Program Manager for the employer pipeline programs (including Travelers EDGE). I graduated from St. Olaf College with a Biology major and Women Studies concentration. I never thought I would be working in career services. I’d love to share how I started off as a biology major to working in higher education, focusing on career development. In between that, I’ve worked in non-profit, TRIO programs (Upward Bound/Student Support Services) and taught English in South Korea.
