I'm Dr. Ronda Ansted, your Career Outreach Strategist. Since joining the department in 2020, my job has been to help you find a great career.

I do this by teaching ECON387 (Career Development for Economics Students) and organizing events like our annual Networking and Career Fairs to connect you with employers. I've helped students find jobs and internships in a variety of fields, including finance, consulting, and the public and non-profit sectors.

I also created the My Career Design Studio, a tool customized for ECON students to help you explore your options. You can access it on our "Finding Your Career Fit" webpage.

Let's work together to help you find a career you'll love. I look forward to meeting with you!
