I now work at Epic Systems as their implementation specialist. Epic Systems creates large-scale software systems for electronic health records at hospitals. 

In my day to day, I work with healthcare organizations to install Epic’s software and improve the way providers care for their patients. I also provide administrative support to a variety of internal teams, ensuring they have the resources, information, and coordination to run smoothly. 

After graduating from Grinnell, I volunteered as the director of volunteer management at Save Cantonese, a global nonprofit with the mission to preserve the Cantonese language and culture. A lot of the work that I do is creating and adapting policies to improve the volunteer experience. I led new volunteer orientations, helped match volunteers to roles that fit their skills, and regularly checked in on their experience with the organization. We’ve created a code of conduct, adapted role descriptions, and created an organizational chart.

Now, I am an assistant director of admission at the College of Wooster! Admissions work has always felt like home to me. Being able to share my excitement and love for a place as wonderful as Wooster feels like the most serendipitous way to start my professional career. Eventually, I’m looking at getting either a J.D. or an M.B.A., but I want to experience the working world before I pursue further education.

I’ve always loved working with people. When you work with people, you never have the same day twice. It’s a nice thing to know that you’re connecting with somebody and having those conversations.

In my last semester at Grinnell, I want to make the most of my time here with the people who mean so much to me. I want to appreciate every day, both the good and the hard.

Professionally, I want to continue doing research. I found my love for scientific research at Grinnell, and I am currently deciding whether I should pursue the passion in graduate school or in a full-time research position.

I plan on attending medical school and getting an M.D./Ph.D. But in the meantime, I want to make the most of my semester here by taking many pictures and enjoying the classes I take.

No matter what, I am certain that my experiences and connections at Grinnell will serve me in my future endeavors!

A few months after graduating from Grinnell, I accepted an admission counselor position at DePauw University. My time working in Grinnell’s admission office furthered my commitment to higher education and the liberal arts. I’m excited to see where this job takes me!

I hope to get a master's degree in library or museum science with a visual focus. Right now, I’m deciding whether I want to attend graduate school right after college or after I have work experience in a museum or library.

In the meantime, I've been talking to people about my career path. My professors, my arts career community adviser, and Grinnell alumni have all given great advice and perspectives. For example, my art history professors and arts career community adviser recommended gaining work experience first before I go into graduate school and shared their own experiences working in art history. Since work experiences can provide extra perspectives that I can contribute to the classroom, I am leaning toward working first before I return to school.

Although I'm no longer required to, I still go to my first-year exploratory career adviser. Dani Perkins has been supportive of my endeavors since the beginning and also has an arts background. I go to her for advice, to talk about life, and sometimes to discuss applying to graduate schools.

I don’t intend to give up on fun, of course. With the time I have left at Grinnell, I intend to have the most fun I can possibly have!

I now work at an immigration law firm. 

I am currently applying for fall 2026's Fulbright Fellowship. I have really enjoyed connecting with Grinnellians that live in the Twin Cities area and finding the best place to get coffee. 

I am excited to see what is next. Whatever it is, I will have continued career support from Grinnell.

As a Grinnell graduate, I now work as a fundraising consultant at the S. M. Sehgal Foundation in Delhi, India. I’m located in Chicago, Illinois, and contribute to research on food security, rural development, and climate resilience across both local and global contexts.

I’m excited to continue working at the place I had once volunteered at. I can’t wait to see what the next chapter of my life will be!

After graduation, I accepted a full-time position at a law firm called Debbie Taussig Law, LLC. I am a legal assistant and receptionist, and I am one of the first faces that our clients interact with. I can’t wait to see what’s in store for the next chapter of my life!
