Meet Christine Lara, a sophomore Biomedical Engineering major with a concentration in Biomaterials and Tissue Concentration!
This past summer, Christine shadowed dermatologist and fellow Cane, Yanette Barcelo (PA-C). This experience taught her a lot about the healthcare industry and the patient care experience and provided her with some hands-on clinical experience. Next, she interned at IMIC Medical Research where she learned about Alzheimer’s, Fatty Liver, and Cirrhosis medical research. This internship involved a lot of hands-on lab work which included drawing blood from patients, processing the blood by centrifuge, and packaging bloodwork. Through determination, Christine was able to get these two experiences by dedicating some time to emailing, calling, and visiting medical offices.
Christine recently acquired an internship with the prestigious Estée Lauder! She says that the 2023 Job & Internship Expo hosted by Toppel was where she was able to meet and interact with them which truly helped her stand out in the application process. Christine states that Toppel has helped her out monumentally! Not only did she get her upcoming internship through building a connection with Estée Lauder at Toppel’s Job & Internship Expo, but she also says that Toppel has helped her identify her career values and goals and has helped her improve her interview skills, resume, and public speaking abilities.
Piece of Advice:
“Put yourself out there and be yourself. As much as it is important to present yourself professionally, being authentic is super important because a major component of the job market today is the connections you build. Employers will remember you for your authenticity and attitude in pursuing the job. Lastly, aim high because you never know where you could end up, but I can assure if you don’t even try you won’t get anywhere.”

Kylie Oquendo
Career Education Intern
|
Meet Kylie Oquendo, a senior Business Management major with a minor in Philosophy!
Aside from being a Career Education Intern at Toppel, Kylie is also a volunteer at the Sandler Center and a member of the Women in Business student organization.
To achieve her career goals, Kylie has taken the initiative and gone outside of her comfort zone. She says that some of the best moments of her life thus far have come from taking risks and being resilient with the outcome.
By moving across the country to a brand-new city with no plan and goal in mind, Kylie had to truly learn things herself which would not have been possible without doing things that might scare her. She says that because college is brand new and a little scary for everyone, when you put yourself out there you can find the path and people that are best for you.
Piece of Advice:
“Celebrate every achievement despite its size. It's important to acknowledge all the hard work you have done to get where you are today even if it might not be your end goal just yet.”
