Career Connections
If you call or email Career and Employment Services (CES), you’ll probably talk with Maya Herran. As the operations and event coordinator, she’s the first point of contact for students wanting to connect with career advisors and other resources for finding a job or internship. She knows a thing or two about trying different career paths, having previously worked as a nanny, food truck cashier, outreach representative, church musician, and research assistant. In addition to answering student, parent, and alumni questions, Herran also handles the nitty gritty details of events like the recent Future Heights Career Conference and helps student workers complete employment forms like the I-9. Herran recently moved back to Tacoma and is rediscovering the city with her partner and their rescue dog, Tuna. When she’s not working or spending time with family, she enjoys making her own clothes. Her goal for 2021? To avoid buying any new clothing for her wardrobe and instead knit, sew, or thrift any items she needs.
