I remember, back when I graduated high school, I made it a priority to further my education, despite having some setbacks. Something interesting about me is that I love to surf. Mainly boogie boarding and body surfing, but it feels great whenever I&#8217;m in the water. I&#8217;m still deciding what my &#8220;ideal job&#8221; would be, but I know the Center for Professional Pathways can guide me in the right direction.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px;font-size: 14px;color: #333333;text-align: left;padding: 0px 0px 1em;border: none;vertical-align: baseline;background: #ffffff;letter-spacing: normal;border-radius: 0px;font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif;font-style: normal;font-weight: 500;text-indent: 0px;text-transform: none\">\n[\/et_pb_blurb][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_3,2_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; min_height=&#8221;2.6px&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px|||||&#8221; ab_subject=&#8221;on&#8221; ab_subject_id=&#8221;2&#8243; ab_goal=&#8221;on&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;2_3&#8243; admin_label=&#8221;Column&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;2_5,3_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; min_height=&#8221;319.4px&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;16px|auto|5px|auto||&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||0px|1px|true|&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;2_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/cdn.wou.edu\/professional-pathways\/files\/2025\/10\/IMG_4111.jpg&#8221; title_text=&#8221;IMG_4111&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; width=&#8221;93.3%&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;|4px||||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;3_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_blurb title=&#8221;Mayumi Nomura&#8221; use_icon=&#8221;on&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; header_font=&#8221;|600|||||||&#8221; header_text_color=&#8221;#E02B20&#8243; header_font_size=&#8221;20px&#8221; min_height=&#8221;166px&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;1px||47px|-7px||&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px|75px||7px||&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px;font-size: 14px;color: #333333;text-align: left;padding: 0px 0px 1em;border: none;vertical-align: baseline;background: #ffffff;letter-spacing: normal;border-radius: 0px;font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif;font-style: normal;font-weight: 500;text-indent: 0px;text-transform: none\"><b>Peer Career Advisor<\/b><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px;font-size: 14px;color: #333333;text-align: left;padding: 0px 0px 1em;border: none;vertical-align: baseline;background: #ffffff;letter-spacing: normal;border-radius: 0px;font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif;font-style: normal;font-weight: 500;text-indent: 0px;text-transform: none\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I am proud of how I found myself and moved forward after discovering that my original plan for the future wasn&#8217;t going to work out. Something interesting about me is that I played the koto, a Japanese 13-stringed instrument, for about 11 years. My ideal job is becoming a career coach or career counselor with a focus of working with the Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing community.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>[\/et_pb_blurb][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; min_height=&#8221;25.4px&#8221; overflow-x=&#8221;hidden&#8221; overflow-y=&#8221;hidden&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px|0px|2px|||&#8221; ab_subject=&#8221;on&#8221; ab_subject_id=&#8221;1&#8243; ab_goal=&#8221;on&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; admin_label=&#8221;Column&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; min_height=&#8221;36.2px&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;|auto|-28px|auto|false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;11px||0px||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.19.3&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_divider _builder_version=&#8221;4.19.3&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; min_height=&#8221;7px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_divider][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Michelle Strowbridge Director, Center for&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1334,"featured_media":0,"parent":902,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"<p>[woumods_facstaff_list dept=\"Service Learning & Career Development\"]<\/p><p><\/p><h2>PROGRAM STAFF<\/h2><p><\/p><p><img src=\"https:\/\/wou.edu\/slcd\/files\/2019\/01\/DSCN2778-e1546896659598-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-5189\" \/> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<img src=\"https:\/\/wou.edu\/slcd\/files\/2019\/01\/DSCN2795-e1546896348605-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-5186\" \/>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"wp-image-4436 size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/wou.edu\/slcd\/files\/2015\/04\/IMG_2575-150x150.jpg\" style=\"color: #333333; font-size: 16px;\" \/><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Alejandra Vera-Oronia\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Karina Lopez\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Z<\/span>oe Chan Tuyub<br \/>Alternative Break\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 WOU Community Internship Program\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Alternative Break<\/p>","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"class_list":["post-633","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wou.edu\/professional-pathways\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/633","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wou.edu\/professional-pathways\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wou.edu\/professional-pathways\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wou.edu\/professional-pathways\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1334"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wou.edu\/professional-pathways\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=633"}],"version-history":[{"count":19,"href":"https:\/\/wou.edu\/professional-pathways\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/633\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":108222,"href":"https:\/\/wou.edu\/professional-pathways\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/633\/revisions\/108222"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wou.edu\/professional-pathways\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/902"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wou.edu\/professional-pathways\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=633"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
