Jill Donovan
For over 20 years, I have helped Brookdale students gain experience and develop skills that will benefit their future. Career competencies such as leadership, communication and teamwork are just a few that are necessary for success. I invite you to step outside your comfort zone, immerse yourself in a new experience, and learn what you do and don’t like. Creating a vision board is an excellent way to get started – put your future plans down on paper. Defining your career goals doesn’t have to be scary – we can help you find your path!

Taking the FOCUS2self-assessment, setting SMART goals, and gaining hands-on experience will develop confidence, leadership, and career readiness skills.As Co-Advisor to Brookdale’s National Society of Leadership & Success, helping students identify and develop leadership skills is inspiring.
