The Arts & Sciences Career Council is a volunteer network of professionals, advising our faculty on the most critical knowledge and skills our students need to contribute to a rapidly changing society. The members of the Council, including alumni and friends of the University, gather twice a year with faculty and students to discuss emerging themes that could further strengthen our students’ educational and professional outcomes.

As a Senior UX Researcher, I bring over a decade of expertise in multi-method product research to the Arts & Sciences Career Council, where I aim to help shape the essential knowledge and skills our students need for meaningful and impactful careers. I am dedicated to advising on how emerging fields such as VR, AI, and automation intersect with professional outcomes, ensuring students are well-equipped to thrive in a rapidly evolving society.”

I'm excited to join the Career Council and contribute to expanding career possibilities for USF students. When I began the MPA program, my path was unclear— yet I graduated with not only a degree, but also a network that led me to my current role. I'm looking forward to sharing that journey and collaborating with fellow Council members to support students navigating their own career development.”

Kaitlyn Azevedo, City & County of San Francisco
