    <div><strong>Name</strong></div>
    <div>Amanda Turner</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><strong>Pronouns</strong></div>
    <div>She/her/hers</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><strong>Title</strong></div>
    <div>Administrative Assistant, Student Conduct and Community Standards </div>
    <div>(SCCS)</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><strong>Years in Student Affairs/UMBC</strong></div>
    <div>3 years</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><span><p><span><em><strong>What is something you do as part of your position that people may not be aware of?</strong></em></span></p>
    <p><span>I have the opportunity to table and promote the SCCS department, along with programs like Restorative Practices and Green Dot, our Bystander Intervention program. It’s always so much fun to talk with students across campus and hear their perspectives on building community and preventing power-based violence. These conversations leave me feeling inspired and hopeful, knowing that students are eager to find meaningful ways to improve their communities. Plus, a student mentioned they thought I was younger than I am—and as someone approaching 30, I counted that as a small win!</span></p>
    <p><span><em><strong>What is one of the most important things you’ve learned during your time here? </strong></em></span></p>
    <p><span>It might seem obvious coming from a university employee, but one of my biggest takeaways has been recognizing how important and continuous learning is throughout life. My experiences at UMBC have encouraged me to be more intentional and open about learning from people of different ages, perspectives, and walks of life. I’m learning to be fearless from my three-year-old nephew, just as I’m learning to be a better professional from my UMBC peers—and it’s been a lot of fun!</span></p>
    <p><span><em><strong>What do you like to do for fun and/or is something you are passionate about outside of work? </strong></em></span></p>
    <p></p>
    <p><span>I love going to karaoke, especially with my family. It combines three things I excel at: singing badly, dancing badly, and loudly supporting others. I love that the biggest priority is to be judgment-free and just have a great time! I also have to mention my love for keychains—it’s a collection I’m determined to keep adding to, despite its increasing weight and decreasing practicality.</span></p></span></div>

<Title>Exploring Careers in STEM</Title>
<Tagline>Here are Five Ways to Get Started</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <p><span>A career in STEM (Science, Technology,
    Engineering, and Mathematics) offers endless possibilities, from developing
    innovative technology to answering the world’s greatest questions. Whether you're
    just starting your journey or looking for ways to advance toward your career,
    here are five key ways to prepare yourself for working in STEM: </span></p>
    
    <p><strong><span>1.
    Research Career Paths</span></strong></p>
    
    <p><span>STEM careers span a wide range of
    industries, including healthcare, artificial intelligence, environmental
    science, and data analytics. Take the time to explore different roles, required
    skills, and potential career trajectories and see what excites you most. Use
    resources like </span><a href="https://my3.my.umbc.edu/groups/careers/posts/144101" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span>Steppingblocks</span></a><span> and the </span><a href="https://www.bls.gov/ooh/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span>Occupational Outlook Handbook</span></a><span> that<strong>  </strong></span><span>provide valuable insights into job
    outlooks and salary expectations.</span></p>
    
    <p><strong><span>2.
    Gain Hands-On Experience</span></strong></p>
    
    <p><span>Internships,
    research projects, and co-op programs are excellent ways to gain real-world
    experience. Many companies offer STEM-focused internships that help students
    develop technical skills to build out a more competitive resume. Look for
    opportunities through </span><a href="https://careers.umbc.edu/handshake/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span>Handshake</span></a><span> by using
    the Jobs tab on the homepage, as well as on our </span><a href="https://careers.umbc.edu/tools/majors/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span>Majors Resources pages</span></a><span>. </span></p>
    
    <p><strong><span>3. Connect with Industry Professionals</span></strong></p>
    
    <p><span>Networking is crucial in any field, even
    in STEM. Follow </span><span><a href="https://my3.my.umbc.edu/groups/careers/events" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">the Career Center’s myUMBC page</a></span><span> to get notified of upcoming events.
    Keep an eye on Handshake events as well. When you see something that seems
    relevant to you, attend these events to meet professionals and learn about job
    opportunities. You can also connect with UMBC alum through <a href="https://careers.umbc.edu/students/network/retrieversconnect/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Retrievers Connect</a>
    as well.</span></p>
    
    <p><strong><span>4.
    Develop Technical and Soft Skills</span></strong></p>
    
    <p><span>While technical
    skills like programming, data analysis, and engineering are important,
    employers also value soft skills. In fact, according to </span><span><a href="https://www.naceweb.org/docs/default-source/default-document-library/2023/publication/research-report/2024-nace-job-outlook.pdf" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">NACE</a></span><span>, the top
    attributes employers seek are problem-solving skills, team work, and
    communication skills. Develop soft skills by taking online courses, joining
    <a href="https://my3.my.umbc.edu/groups/studentorgs" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">student organizations</a>, or working on personal projects to enhance these skill
    sets.</span></p>
    
    <p><strong><span>5.
    Stay Updated on Industry Trends</span></strong></p>
    
    <p><span>STEM fields
    evolve rapidly, so staying informed is key. Follow industry news, read research
    publications, and join <a href="https://careers.umbc.edu/students/network/additional/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">professional
    associations</a> related to your field of interest. Keeping up with trends in
    areas like artificial intelligence, biotechnology, and cybersecurity can help
    you stay competitive in the job market.</span></p>
    
    <p><strong><span>Take
    the Next Step</span></strong></p>
    
    <p><span>A career in
    STEM is full of opportunities, but preparation is key. Start building your
    network and explore your career paths today by attending the </span><a href="https://my3.my.umbc.edu/groups/careers/posts/145903" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span>BEYA STEM DTX Career Fair and Conference</span></a><span>. This event
    is an excellent way to connect with recruiters, learn about job openings and
    internship opportunities, and gain valuable industry insights. Don’t miss out
    on this opportunity to take your STEM career to the next level. Registration to
    travel with UMBC closes end-of-day on February 11<sup>th</sup>, but you can
    also register on <a href="https://intouch.ccgmag.com/mpage/beya-home" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">the BEYA
    website</a> should you miss the deadline. </span></p>
    
    <p><span>Good luck! </span></p>
