About Dr. Kaylee Bloom

I™ve spent the last decade working in higher education, with a focus on helping students navigate their academic and career journeys with confidence and purpose. Before stepping into this role in Career Design & Exploration, I served as Director of the Student Enrichment Center at JU, where I led a team committed to supporting student persistence, academic success, and holistic well-being. My career path has also included roles in residence life, career advising, internship program management, and organizational development at institutions like the University of Michigan and Syracuse University. 

I™m passionate about creating meaningful career education experiences that meet students where they are, whether they™re exploring possibilities or preparing for life after graduation. I hold a Doctor of Educational Technology from Central Michigan University. My dissertation was focused on student perceptions of confidence and succesful outcomes when utilizing AI career readiness tools.

Graduate Assistant

About Bethany Hackerman

I am a recent graduate of Towson University, where I obtained my B.S. in Psychology with minors in Family Science and Jewish Studies. Across campus, I worked for several departments, including Housing and Residence Life, the Writing Center, and Events and Conference Services. I was also a member and co-chair of the Dean Student Advisory Council for the College of Liberal Arts, and held leadership positions in the Chabad and Hillel at TU. Currently, I am a first-year master student in the Clinical Mental Health Counseling program here at JU. As I was able to get involved and support students at Towson, I want to do the same here at JU. In my role as a Career Design and Exploration Graduate Assistant, I hope to support students in ensuring they are on the right path to achieving their career goals.  

As a future mental health counselor, I hope to support children with trauma, depression, anxiety disorders, and family issues through the use of play therapy. This age group specialization may expand as I have truly found a passion for working with college students after working in higher education spaces for the past 4 years. 

I™d love to meet you and support you in your career journey! Schedule a time !
