Are You a Recent Graduate? I Am Here to Help!
Whether it's looking for your next job, a career transition, applying to graduate school, or whatever other career needs you might have, I look forward to the chance to speak with some of you! If you are ever looking to schedule an appointment with me and don't see a time on my calendar that works for you, please feel free to email me and let me know of alternative times that work with your schedule. You can find instructions to scheduling an appointment through Handshake here.
To tell you a little about myself, I attended Northeastern University where I majored in Communication Studies. Aspiring to work in Television Production, I gained invaluable experience through positions at ABC, CNN, and NBC. While I loved many aspects of my work, I did not feel fulfilled by my daily role, and I quickly realized that I no longer looked forward to a future in production. Making a career transition was a difficult and scary decision, and the process to make that a reality took dedication. However, by utilizing my LinkedIn and in-person networks, I successfully found a new position as a College and Financial Aid Adviser for students in Atlanta Public Schools. Through this experience, I found fulfillment that never existed at my previous positions, which inspired me to apply to graduate school. Currently, I am pursuing a M.Ed. in College Student Affairs Administration at the University of Georgia.

Join this Women of UGA virtual networking event to share advice and words of wisdom with students! Students will get the opportunity to connect with alumnae professionals who live around the world to discuss topics that affect women in the workplace. Alumnae will share experiences, exchange career tips and students can build a global professional network - all online! It's free, it's your lunch break, and it's fun!
How it Works:
Online networking enables you to speed-network no matter where you are in the world. You can sign in from your home, office, library, phone or tablet. The chats are text-based and timed, allowing you to make connections, exchange contact information, and end the hour with several new connections (and possibly new interns) you didn't have before.
FOR ALUMNAE/PROFESSIONALS: Here are some ideas on how to get the conversation started with students:
- Do you know what type of career you are working towards?
- Do you have an internship lined up for the summer?
- Are you involved in any professional organizations?
- Why did you decide to participate in this event
If you have any questions about this event, please email Bethany Mills at bjbagley@uga.edu.

Southern Teachers Agency is now recruiting graduating students who have the potential to become good teachers at independent schools around the South.
Here’s what to expect:
- Southern Teachers already has openings listed for the 2018-19 academic year, and they're expecting more than 3,000 jobs in total.

With this understanding of what a candidate can do and also wants to do, Southern Teachers can place young teachers in jobs where they will have potential for success in the classroom.
- This year Southern Teachers will host a Job Fair for their active candidates on February 3 in Atlanta, GA.
In order to take advantage of all these opportunities—and our Atlanta Job Fair—apply by Thanksgiving to become a candidate with Southern Teachers.

The English Opens Doors Program’s Volunteer Initiative, is a fee-free opportunity from the Chilean Ministry of Education, supported by the United Nations Development Programme-Chile. The English Opens Doors Program is seeking native and near-native English speaking volunteers (above the age of 21) to teach English in coordination with Chilean teachers of English in public schools throughout Chile. Volunteers will work independently with students from 11 to 18 years old, and no previous teaching experience is needed to apply!
English Opens Doors Program volunteers spend approximately 35 hours per week focusing on developing students’ communicative abilities in English using a dynamic teaching style, facilitating intercultural exchange, and generally making English fun to learn! Volunteers will gain real teaching experience in a Latin American country through a United Nations sponsored program, while simultaneously learning (or improving their) Spanish-language abilities and getting to know an incredible country with a wealth of cultural and geographical beauty. More importantly, the English Opens Doors Program will give volunteers the opportunity to make a positive impact in a public school community, and to change their own lives in the process.
For more information about this volunteer initiative, please check out our website at: http://www.centrodevoluntarios.cl/
