DANA HAMILTON, M. ED., C.C.C.
Focus
:I am passionate about the career development process and the potential to create a career that is an expression of one’s self-concept. I truly enjoy helping clients make intentional decisions about their educational and professional plans. An understanding of one’s strengths, personal style, values, skills, and interests is critical to the decision-making process. Using formal and informal assessments in combination with an in-depth interview and consultation, I work with students, adults, and teams to cultivate self-awareness and apply this information to their educational and professional development.
Experience
:I spent many years working in university academic advising centers where I guided students in their degree and career planning. In 2015, I co-founded Aplomb Consultants to more comprehensively facilitate career development for students, adults, and teams. To further my mission, I also teach a student development course for new community college students.
