She wants to be able to give back to the community and be as involved as she can! Alongside her job, Amber enjoys learning how to play the ukulele. Amber says that she is nowhere near being able to play an entire song yet. It is one of her goals to learn how to play Sweet Creature by Harry Styles by the end of the year!

Born and raised in Downingtown, Pennsylvania, Adrien Wilson is a Chemistry major who loves getting involved on campus. When he’s not skimming the periodic table for elements, he’s looking at baking recipes or hanging out with close friends for a good laugh. His motive behind becoming a Career Peer Advisor was wanting to help others build their confidence and elevate any anxiety about career-related issues. Lending supportive insight fills him with so much pride and he knew it would be an honor to join the OCE team. While he’s not certain what he wants to do after graduation, Adrien’s current interest is becoming a dentist or hygienist.

Adrien is not currently accepting appointments for Express Advising hours.
