Career Highlight

"I have attended diversity focused events at universities, such as the George Washington University School of Business Diversity & Allyship Round Table Breakfast, where I was able to connect with students and discuss Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion initiatives, company culture, and Navy Federal’s recruiting programs. I have also attended national diversity conferences, such as Grace Hopper Celebration and the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers’ annual convention, where I actively engaged with attendees and provided information about our early in career programs. I leverage the national diversity conferences to connect and recruit students from underrepresented communities. Additionally, I prioritize an inclusive recruitment process by leveraging a school agnostic approach to identify talent for our early career programs, which resulted in hires from over 60 colleges and universities across the nation."
