Meet the Graduate Assistants

Hello, my name is Katelyn! I am a Master’s student in School Counseling at St. John’s University and a Graduate Assistant with the Career Services team. I am excited to be part of the St. John’s community to develop my skills in counseling and student support. Outside of academics and work, I enjoy paddleboarding, hiking, and spending time outdoors.

As a returning second-year Graduate Assistant for Events & Leadership Development within St. John’s University Career Services, I am passionate about creating meaningful opportunities that support students throughout their college experience. In my role, I assist with career and leadership development programs and advise students participating in the Leadership Development Program (LDP). I also co-advise the National Society of Leadership & Success, supervise student workers, and collaborate with students, faculty, and staff across the university.

Alongside my work in Career Services, I am pursuing my Master of Arts in Speech-Language Pathology. My experiences in leadership, mentorship, clinical practice, and student engagement have strengthened my communication and interpersonal skills while reinforcing my passion for supporting others. My work in speech-language pathology has also deepened my appreciation for compassion and ensuring that every voice is heard. I carry these values into leadership development by creating an environment where individuals feel valued, recognizing individual strengths, and empowering students to use their voices with confidence.

I am Alexis and getting my MBA in Interdisciplinary Business.  I have many years of experience in consumer banking and am getting the degree as I am looking to pursue a new career in teaching.  I really enjoy helping and mentoring, leveraging my work and management experience and am excited to be part of the Career Services Team!

I am Matthew, a Graduate Assistant for Career Services and a Master’s student in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I spent much of my undergrad years working with other students in various jobs and student organizations, and now I get to work with St. John’s students performing Career Advising. Feel free to make an appointment with me for a resume review, internship search, or to join the best Career Community for you!

My name is Samantha and I am a second-year graduate student in the Speech-Language Pathology program. I am passionate about helping others strengthen their communication skills and build confidence in both academic and professional settings. I am excited to work with Career Services as a Graduate Assistant where I look forward to connecting my background in communication with career development and supporting students as they build the skills and confidence needed to reach their professional goals.

My name is Tamera and I’m getting my Masters in Psychology with a focus on cognition & behavior with hopes on becoming a neuropsychologist. I have experience in advising students based on their majors and career goals. I enjoy conducting one-on-one conversations to help prepare students for the work field. Please don’t hesitate to contact me!

I have a strong background in experiential marketing, supporting high-profile events, brand activations, product launches, and pop-up experiences across a variety of industries. As a Speech-Language Pathology graduate student, I have developed strong communication, interpersonal, and problem-solving skills that complement my experience in event coordination. Both areas have taught me how to connect with diverse individuals, adapt in fast-paced environments, collaborate effectively, and create engaging, positive experiences for others.
