Peer Career Coaches
Peer Career Coaches are a team of students who are trained to assist undergraduate students through the career development process - from creating and editing your resume or CV, crafting an engaging cover letter, and finding positions that suit your interests and goals. Peer Career Coaches can also help with interviewing and career fair preparation.
The Peer Career Coach team is the first point of contact during daily drop-in hours. Stay for 10 minutes or stay for an hour to get the assistance you need and a Peer Career Coach can help you through the process. If a Peer Career Coach needs assistance with your questions, they will help you schedule an appointment with a Career Coach.
If you are in a club or residence hall who would like a Career Development presentation, the Peer Career Coaches can help with that too! Just email career@xavier.edu with information about what you would like presented and they will craft a workshop to fit your needs.
Amina Drame
Hello! My name is Amina Drame, and I am a junior from Dacula, Georgia. I'm currently majoring in Sports Marketing with a minor in Advertising. As a Peer Career Coach, I am most excited to be able to build relationships with my peers and use the tools that I've learned to help us both navigate transitioning into those next steps in our careers. I am a big believer that there is a career for everyone that they can feel passionate about. Some facts about me are that I'm a Falcons fan, I could eat seafood every day of the week, and I love playing the Sims. On campus, I'm involved in the TRiO Scholars Program, Sports Business Club, and Xavier Athletics Marketing Internship Team. If you ever see me around campus, please say hi!
