Welcome to Brazen Careerist!

About Me

A Cincinnati native, I graduated from Xavier University in 1983 with a BSBA in Accounting. I started my career as an auditor with Deloitte & Touche, where I was responsible for preparation of financial statements, inventory audits, compliance testing and client relations.

Pursuing my love of liberal arts, I returned to Xavier for an MA degree in 1997 and spent the next decade in the college and high school classrooms educating young adults.

Now, I combine my business knowledge, education experience and certification in both the Myers-Briggs and Strong Interest Inventory to help students and young professionals discover their interests and leverage their strengths for college and career.

I also serve as a volunteer mentor with Xavier University Career Services, and was named 2010 "Mentor of the Year."

I'm a morning person, Cincinnati Reds fan, and love restaurants with a ketchup bottle on the table :) I'd love to hear from you and learn about your experiences in college & career, so I can share your successes.
