Career Peer Advisors

In my role as a Peer Advisor, I work with DU students to support them in their career goals and build their resumés and cover letters. I also provide guidance to students on campus through sharing resources and information pertaining to professional development at the University of Denver and outside.

During my time at DU, I have utilized Career and Professional Developments’ resources and taken all I have learned and used it to further my own personal and professional development. Career and Professional Development offers a unique and diverse range of resources that grant opportunities to those at the University of Denver and beyond.

In my free time, I enjoy camping and fishing, as well as playing sports and spending time with friends and family.

Hi! I’m Nehal Patel (she/her) and I am a Senior studying Finance and Business Information and Analytics. I grew up in Fort Collins, so not too far from DU! In my free time, I enjoy playing and watching sports, being in the outdoors, trying new restaurants, playing piano, and spending time with my friends and family.

I am looking forward to helping other students with topics I have struggled with in the past. As a Peer Advisor, I am available to help with a wide array of things such as cover letters and resumes to helping with the internship/job search process. I am excited to meet everyone who stops by the Burwell Center! The Career Center offers so many resources and tools for navigating the internship/job search process.

Hi! I am Nicholas Brees (He/Him) and I am working in the Burwell Center for Career Achievement as a Peer Career Advisor. I am really looking forward to helping the community that is my peers with some of the same topics I was struggling with not even a year ago. As a Peer Advisor, I am available for drop in appointments for help with resumes, cover letters, or any of the fun work that is applying for jobs/internships.

I was born in San Jose, California but moved out to Bend, Oregon during the formative years of my life. Out there, I found a new passion for the outdoors while climbing mountains, spelunking in lava caves, and swimming in any body of water I can find. Two of my most memorable adventures would be a three hour rafting trip along the Rogue River while a firefighting helicopter was refilling their tank fifty yards away from our raft while we were navigating class three rapids, and hiking/backpacking in the Owyhee River Wilderness Area, one of the most untapped and Edenic places in the Pacific North West.

I came to DU for the amazing Daniels School of Business programs as well as the mountains and nature. I hope to learn how to ski this year and take more advantage of the Colorado Mountains. I hope to see you all in the Burwell Center at some point this year!

Hello! My name is Cap Kelly, and I work in the Burwell Center for Career Achievement as a Peer Career Advisor. After two years of working in the Burwell Center in other positions, I am excited to be a part of the Peer Advising team.

Originally, I’m from the Kansas City area, but I’m now proud to call Denver home! On the weekends you might find me running at Washington Park or up in the mountains skiing! Also, love to talk about cities and my time abroad in London.

As a student, I know how difficult and overwhelming the career search process can be, which is why I am so excited to provide any support I can! Come visit me during drop-ins for help with resumes, cover letters, and more!

Hi! My name is Isabel (she/her) and I am a graduate student studying Higher Education in the Morgridge College of Education at DU! 

I am originally from Massachusetts (Go Pats!), and earned my Bachelor’s degree at the University of Massachusetts where I studied psychology, sociology, and social work. In my free time, I love spending time with friends, going to the gym, and exploring Denver! 

I worked as a Career Peer Advisor in undergrad as well and love getting to chat with all of you about resumes, cover letters, grad school applications, and the job search! :)  

My name is Grace Tabet (she/her), and I am excited to be part of the Peer Advising team this year. I am currently a senior pursuing a double major in Social-Legal Studies and Marketing. I have always enjoyed writing and helping others, so this position feels like a  natural fit. My goal is to help every student ensuring their application materials are authentic to themselves, and have confidence in that.

On the weekends, I enjoy spending time outside hiking, playing tennis, or hanging out with my roommates. In addition to being a Career Peer Advisor, I am also involved on campus in DU Marketing Club and Woman in Business.

I am grateful that DU values Career and Professional Development for its student body, and have utilized all its resources since I was a freshman. The entire team is dedicated to the success of its students and I am excited to be a part of that mission this year!
