New Graduate Intern

Greetings!

My name is Kara Gregory and I am the new graduate intern working with Career Services. I am currently pursuing my Masters of Counselor Education with a concentration in school counseling here at Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne.

With almost a month under my belt since starting in Career Services, I have started to grasp the importance this office has to offer students, alumni and members of the community. Whether I am shadowing a "choosing your major" appointment, or helping to critique a resume during express lanes, Career Services is a valuable resource for those who are looking to invest time in the career planning/searching process.

As an intern with Career Services, I hope to learn more about the higher education structure, career counseling techniques and theory, confidence in the interview process, networking strategies, and much more. I believe the experience I am recieving through my internship is valuable and is helpful for me as I try to decide what type of work environment I enjoy working in. I have an interest in working with high school students, as well as college age students. Through my internship, I hope to learn if the higher education setting is where I am most comfortable.

I am eager to learn and develop the skills an effective counselor needs to be most helpful to their clients. I am excited to be working in a setting where I can combine my education with praticial hands on experience.

I look forward to this journey, and looking forward to helping you anyway possible. Let me know if you're looking for an internship, need help with a resume, or just need a listening ear. My door is open!
