Dee Wilson is our Career Coach supporting the College of Merchandising, Hospitality & Tourism. She is a UNT alum who earned an M.Ed. in Higher Education.  Prior to her master’s, she received two undergraduate degrees at Texas Woman’s University with a B.B.A. in Business Administration & B.S. in Government (Paralegal Studies). She has served students in various roles for 31 years in higher education at UNT with 10 of those years in CMHT teaching the professional development course, processing internship approvals, conducting employer outreach to develop employment opportunities with industry recruiters, and coordinating career events. Recently, she has been serving as a Career Coach for CMHT to support students in developing themselves professionally through resume/cover letter/LinkedIn development, interview and career fair preparation, and job search strategies while also acting as the employer liaison to provide events and other opportunities for students to connect with industry professionals and alumni.

When asked what brought her to her chosen profession at UNT, she tells us, “I was inspired to work in education due to encouragement from others based on my nature of being a helper and caregiver.  I truly enjoy assisting students to help them succeed.  As a Career Coach, I strive to make a lasting impact on the students I serve by first showing that I care about them and then to provide advice to help them be more confident and understand how to sell themselves to be successful in reaching their career goals.”
