#BounceBack

Meet Ashley Margaritondo! Ashley is a senior majoring in Health Science and Psychology. She works at the Herbert Wellness Center as a Wellness Program Supervisor and has held various clinical internships to collect hours toward physical therapy school applications. Ashley says Toppel helped her to become career ready by reviewing her resume and her letters of intent and by giving her a clear path forward early in her undergraduate studies.

Some advice from Ashley: “It's important to ask for help if you need it. Everyone is at different stages throughout their time as an undergraduate student, so there is no reason to compare yourself to others. The resources are available for you to use, and you should take advantage of them, even if you don't think you necessarily need it.”

Virtual Career Fair Tips

With the Last Call Career Fair taking place virtually, it’s even more important to be prepared and to have a plan going in.

Best Advice:

Set goals and objectives for what you aspire to achieve in life. Have a vision of them and remind yourself of them every day. Then, little by little, you'll build towards them, grow more knowledgeable, more disciplined, and remain focused.

#BounceBack Story:

During the pandemic, internships have been difficult to navigate. I had planned on interning at the French consulate during the summer of 2020, but due to the pandemic, the internship program was canceled, and my next internship opportunity was limited. I applied to over 40 internships the next summer and ended up landing an internship at Caserta & Spiriti Law firm as an accountant. This experience was very beneficial to my career path and has since set me on track for more opportunities.
