I officially checked off another "first" on the podcast guest list. Nikki is my first psychology alum who also works at UIUC!
I met Nikki years back during my previous career, and it was a pleasure to cross her path again.
We discussed her college days and figuring out where her career would lead. During the interview, she introduced me to the term "wandering student." I feel that is a WONDERFUL way to describe the experience of finding one's place in the world.
That journey led her to a perfect fit of using that expertise and perspective while helping out current students at The Career Center.
The Career Center is an amazing resource that both students and alumni can benefit from. I've wanted to learn more about it myself, so I'm glad this opportunity came up—after we talked about Candyland, four-day work weeks, and the benefits of spoons, of course.
