Hi, my name is Elicia Marie Ferrer, and I am currently serving Maryville College as an undergraduate career advisor. I provide professional development and support for students exploring opportunities and designing their future lives. Additionally, I design visual content and create and execute the annual communication plan for the Career Center at the college. Prior to this role, I served for two years at Pellissippi State Community College in student support services and found great joy in positively impacting the student experience and ensuring retention especially in times crisis for the students I worked with. Over my 14-year professional journey, I have found myself in various roles as the helper in me sought to fill gaps in each organization with whom I was working. At heart, I am a connector. I strive to build networks and strengthen communities in-person and online, and I believe that social media creates bridges around the world for human connection and growth.
