Jess Collett

I am currently a career advisor at a small, four-year college. Previously, I practiced as a trial attorney for almost four years, and have been an editor on Law Review and another scholarly law journal in law school. In all roles, I believe in delivering high-quality content and constantly striving to improve my performance and the performance of others.I believe that, when you know your own mind, embrace your natural skills, and learn to show your best face, you can confidently pursue your dreams. I love helping my clients identify their own skills, show their best face, and create a plan that puts them on the road to success..

I am a graduate of Bryn Mawr College and Chicago-Kent College of Law.  In law school, I worked as an editor on two scholarly publications, reviewing and improving articles submitted by professors and working attorneys.  As a practicing attorney, I prepared and argued trials in court.  Now, as a career advisor, I help undergraduate students identify their strengths, build their skills, and plan how they will pursue success in the future.

 I am committed to meaningful work, constant improvement, and common sense.  In my free time, I like to read, cook, paint, and camp.  When I can, I love to travel -- I have been to Japan, China, Italy, England, and Canada, and plan to visit many, many more places.

 I believe in life-long learning and enjoy taking classes on websites like Coursera and EdX, just for fun!
