Michelle Nedashkovskaya

Spotlight on Michelle Nedashkovskaya ’16

Michelle, the student president of the Peer Career Advisors, offers some advice and insight to fellow students.

What’s something about the Career Services office not everyone might know about?

The counselors of Career Services are all incredibly friendly and genuinely want to see and help as many students as possible. You don’t need to come prepared at all to come speak with one! Spontaneous talks are welcome.

What makes the Career Services office unique from other offices/services on campus?

Career Services features a distinct balance between “generalist” and “specialist” services–they’re specifically career-oriented, of course, and have advisers with specific fields of concentration–but they’re also all qualified to give great general career advice and help you explore bigger life questions. 

What has been your most memorable experience as a PCA or as a student visiting the Career Services office?

I had a great time staffing the Insider’s Look at Internships event at Mathey last year because it was my first time trying to speak to an unorganized mass of students – it was actually a really fun little adventure.

Why are you a PCA?

I have always been fascinated by the question of how our careers will shape our lives as a whole – there are so many possibilities! Plus, I know how terrifying the process of career exploration may seem sometimes and I enjoy helping people through that anxiety.

Staff Spotlight: Michele Tuck-Ponder

Michele-1

Meet Michele Tuck-Ponder, one of our dedicated team members.

1) What kind of appointments do you take?
Any undergrad can schedule an appointment with me in the HireTigers system. I’m the liaison for Wilson College, as well as the history, Near Eastern studies and philosophy departments. I also oversee the Career Services Student Advisory Board.

2) What was your undergrad major?
My undergraduate major was journalism, earned at the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University. I also earned a J.D. at the University of Pennsylvania Law School.

3) What was your first job out of college? What was your most memorable job?
My first job was as a press secretary on Capitol Hill to the late Rep. Louis Stokes (D-OH). Since then, I’ve worked in media relations, non-profit, public policy and government. My most memorable job was serving as the mayor of Princeton.

4) Where can students find you on campus?
Most of the time I’m at Career Services, but I am starting office hours at the Carl A. Fields Center for Equality and Cultural Understanding library on Thursdays from 7:30-9 p.m. I’m taking walk-in appointments to assist with job and internship strategies, resumes and cover letter reviews, LinkedIn profile critiques and for general career conversations.

5) What is one of the things that you are passionate about in your job?
My husband, a member of the Class of ’81, was a first-generation, low SES student here at Princeton. Knowing his experiences, I am passionate about supporting students from similar backgrounds and helping them to launch a career filled with meaning, purpose and service to others.
