Paige Luna

Coordinator, Employer Connections "Serving all employers with job posting and events support in Pioneer Careers."

In my role I work with the Employer Connections team to coordinate engagement events around recruitment, such as the annual DU All Majors Career & Internship Fair. Connecting students with employers to form lasting relationships is what motivates my work in career services.

I have a background in human resources with many years of hospitality leadership experience. During my time in the hospitality industry, I accomplished facilitating the openings of new café and restaurant locations across the country. I’m passionate about training and development of my team as a leader and believe that there is always an opportunity to learn and grow.  I value connecting with my community and peers through encouragement and support and thrive on seeing positive impacts because of my work.

I’m a self-proclaimed coffee addict and aspire to be a small business owner with my own coffee shop in the future. Something people may not know about me is that I’m a Colorado native and have never once been skiing or snowboarding. I instead prefer to enjoy warmer weather during Colorado summers by fishing at Evergreen Lake and backpacking in the mountains.

A piece of career advise I would give my 20 year-old self: “Slow down, it’s okay not to know the direction you will take. Trust yourself and your instincts because doing so will create your path.”
