Grad Outcomes, Rebecca Volkov, Emory University

I advise students that there are many ways to do important work in healthcare that require fewer than 8+ years of education. The years Rebecca spent doing scientific research made her a highly-qualified candidate for her job at a consulting company with a division solely devoted to healthcare.

"This past May, I graduated from Emory University with a bachelors of sciences in Human Health and a minor in Health Innovation. Since graduating, I launched my career with FTI Consulting in their New York City office. Employing my major from Emory, I work under the Healthcare segment at FTI with a focus on regulatory compliance and litigation.

Emory has opened doors for me both academically and professionally and I look forward to being a part of its impressive alumni association."

Student Outcomes, Eric Sawyer

Eric joined Bloomberg LP in NYC after graduating from TCNJ in 2016 with a double-major in Marketing and International Studies. At Bloomberg, he started on the analytics help desk, where he trained clients on terminal functionality. He then transitioned to an account management role, where he supported Bloomberg customers in Eastern Canada by hosting in-person trainings, displacing competing products, handling day-to-day support matters, and helping to expand the Bloomberg footprint across the region. In January of 2022, Eric took on more responsibility and is now the lead point-of-contact for his accounts as their relationship manager. Eric holds a Canadian work visa and he even met his girlfriend in Toronto!

He ran a marathon, enjoys playing tennis and soccer, and loves spending time

with his younger brother, Peter.

Eric is grateful for Pamela’s coaching services and feels that her help was

instrumental in helping him get on the right path for success!
