Jessica Kohl's Bio

My role at Cal State San Marcos

As an Administrative Support Assistant in the Career Center, my role is to provide information and referrals about Career Center services, programs and events to students, alumni, faculty and employers. I facilitate and provide supervision to our Student Assistants and oversee the Cougar Closet.

My career path

In 2018 I graduated from California State University, San Marcos with a Bachelor’s Degree in Human Development with an emphasis in Counseling.  Prior to transferring to CSUSM I attended three community colleges including Palomar College.  My journey working with academic advisors caused me to become very passionate about higher education.  This is why I am thrilled to be working in a position that allows me to help others achieve their academic and professional goals.

The rewards in doing what I do
I enjoy working with students and alumni in reaching their academic and career goals. It is rewarding to help students find what they need and how they are maximizing the resources the Career Center provides.

My words of wisdom to students

To see everything as an opportunity to learn and grow, and to always try to improve yourself. Never be afraid to ask question when you don’t know something and seek help when you need it.

In my free time

During my free time I enjoy listening to music, reading, going on hikes, and enjoying some quiet time.
