    • What inspired me to become a Career Coach: 
      Fisher is such an amazing community and by being a part of it I have gained a lot of experiences and opportunities. I feel that being a Peer Career Coach allows me to give back to the Fisher community, while helping other students working through exciting times!
    • Fun fact: 
      My favorite sport is wrestling!
    • My idea of a perfect day at OSU: 
      The weather is sunny and warm, but not extremely hot. I would meet up with a friend at Heirloom Café for a coffee, sit at the tables outside of Mason to get some work done. Go with friends to Cazuela’s, and hang out together for the rest of the night!

    • Major:Logistics & Operations
    • Internships:
      • The Upper Arlington Education Foundation
      • Loeb Electric
      • JP Morgan Chase
    • What inspired me to become a Career Coach:
      I really love the idea of helping others especially with professional development. At one point or another we were all in the dark about career fair etiquette and the dos and don’ts of networking and without someone to teach us who knows where we would’ve ended up. So I would love to teach what I’ve learned throughout my time at Fisher to students who haven’t had those experiences yet.
    • On campus Involvement:
      Honors and Scholars Ambassadors, Undergraduate Business Women's Association, Alpha Chi Omega Sorority, Fisher Leaders Initiative, University Ambassadors
    • Fun fact:
      I have “dunked” off a pass from an OSU basketball player while playing on their team.

    Chris Jackson

    • Hometown: Franklin, TN
    • Major: Accounting, Logistics
    • Internships:
      • Express Inc. in Columbus, OH (2016)
      • Deloitte in Nashville, TN (2017)
    • What inspired me to become a Career Coach:
      I used the Career Coaches myself, during my freshman and sophomore years especially, and really gained useful knowledge from the individuals I saw. They were always so friendly and professional, and I found it easier to talk to them over a company representative or a professor. I now want to share everything I’ve earned over the past three years at Fisher to help my peers accomplish their goals in anyway I can.
    • Fun fact about me:
      My favorite cause is Soccer Over Seas--an organization I helped start with my older sister back in High School.
    • What I like best about being a Fisher student:
      The friendly atmosphere that surrounds the entire school. I have found myself having classes with similar people and some of those individuals have become really great friends of mine.

    • Hometown: Shenzhen, China
    • Major: Finance
    • Internships:
      • Pingan Corporation--Operational Planning Intern
      • Yingda Securities--Investment Banking Summer Analyst
    • What inspired me to become a Career Coach:
      When I was an under-class student, I got to meet several very successful upper-class students, including one of the former career coaches. I learned so much from them, and they gave me many useful pieces of advice that eventually made me who I am today. I want to utilize the things I learned from the past to give back to my fellow Fisher students.
    • A fun fact about me:
      I drove a horse carriage down the Newschwanstein Castle in Germany.

    Don’t let anything scare you away from what you want, and have faith in yourself.

      Take advantage of every opportunity because you never know where one might lead you. Also, talk to every person you cross paths with because networking is one of the most impactful things you can do and you can learn something from every person you meet.
