Our team
Kevin’s dedication to student employment stems from a deep belief in its power to level the playing field for students historically marginalized in higher education. Committed to helping every student reach their academic and professional heights, Kevin is also passionate about art and architecture, with a special place in his heart for Brutalist architecture. His two favorite artists are Simone Leigh and Lucien Freud.
As a passionate and motivated higher education professional, Susan immerses herself in employment services and mental health counseling while devoting her attention to student success and well-being. She specializes in counseling undergraduate, graduate, international and non-traditional college students in employment settings, in order to help expose them to the professional world outside of education. Advising, coaching and educating diverse populations of students on how to transform themselves from students into professionals has been her greatest dedication.
