Chanelle McKenzie

Hello Everyone! My name is Chanelle McKenzie and I’m a current senior student at Purchase College. I double majored in Mathematics & Computer Science and Language and Culture and I also double minored in Asian Studies and Linguistics, YES I know it’s a lot and NO I do not sleep!

This is my first time working with the Career Development center as Peer Career Liaison and with my academic background along with participation in various Purchase organizations taught me that career planning is crucial for occupational success! To plan now is to benefit later so career development is critical to achieve success in your career paths ! There are plenty of key steps that can guide you towards the right path to succeed in a career where you can be both successful and happy.

My career goal is to become a Foreign Ambassador and I’m passionate about international affairs. After I graduate I plan to work on various initiatives abroad whether I’m an English Teacher, working on projects or an intern for a foreign government.  So far I’ve traveled to St. Vincent, Spain, and Japan. From those experiences I’ve realized that I love everything the globe has to offer. The world is my compass and I am an explorer!
