Angelina Shtramel
(Honours Bachelor of Business Administration, Conc. Accounting, 4th Year)
My name is Angelina, and in the past two years I was lucky to be a part of the amazing team at CareerZone. As I am graduating this year with a degree in Business Administration, I want to reflect on the wonderful experience I had working as a Goodman Career Assistant and a Senior Goodman Career Assistant.
One of the best rewards of this job is knowing that people genuinely find our services useful. Providing customer service to so many people has allowed me to feel that I am a part of a huge community. This job has also opened new job opportunities for me to explore in the HR field which I never considered before. The Career Assistant role has equipped me with essential experience and transferable skills, which I will carry with me as I am entering the professional field.
I am grateful to all the amazing people in CareerZone for this journey and the great memories! I also wish the new team a wonderful time and an ongoing success in the future!
Kwasi Duah
(Honours BA in Psychology, minor in Child & Youth Studies, 4th Year)
My name is Kwasi and I'm entering my final weeks as a Senior Career Assistant. I'm very excited to be graduating in a few weeks with my Bachelor of Psychology in the Research Stream. I have thoroughly enjoyed being a Senior Career Assistant over the past 2022-2023 school year! It has been a rewarding role to be able help others in areas which have initially been a challenge for me. Being able to assist students with their career development proved to be one of the most rewarding experiences of my undergraduate career. When I first started my role, I was a bit nervous about what the position would mean, but over time I was able to gain the confidence to further develop my skills and abilities.
I believe the future of CareerZone will be in good hands with the next generation of students. I encourage the new Career Assistants to step into their leadership positions to develop their skillset on both a personal and professional level. The next steps of my journey involve doing academic research, with the goal of eventually getting into Medical School. I want to thank CareerZone and my managers for their support and guidance throughout my 2 years with CCEE.

Hi, my name is Megan Vlahiotis, and as the school year wraps up, I just want to take a moment to reflect on my journey as a Career Assistant. I have enjoyed my time working here, and the experiences I have gained will stay with me both professionally and personally! I sincerely thank and appreciate all those who I have worked with, and my supervisors for their dedication and commitment towards my growth.
I am excited to announce that I will be working as a Program Coordinator at the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre in Toronto. I’m looking forward to coordinating the online and in-person sexual health and rehabilitation clinic which offers accessible sexual health resources for prostate cancer patients.
Brieanna Wannack
(Concurrent Education, Intermediate Senior Program, 4th Year)
My name is Brieanna and my time as a Career Assistant over the last three years has been very rewarding. I am grateful for the opportunity to work in a team as great as this one and am sad the year has come to an end. Being a Lead Career Assistant has taught me valuable lessons and has allowed me to strengthen many skills, especially in leadership. I plan on using the skills I have gained from my role as I enter the Teacher Education program here at Brock in September!
