AAMI Professional Development Workshop

Event Description:

The Professional Development Workshop scheduled for November 19, 2025, from 4:00 PM to 5:30 PM, is an event focused on building practical career skills for students and early professionals. The session will feature three speakers: Anfernee McDonald, Rachel Frantz, and Madison Thornhill. During the workshop, participants will engage in discussions and activities centered on four main topics: resume building and review, LinkedIn management, professional headshots, and business card design. Each topic is intended to strengthen participants’ ability to present themselves effectively in academic, professional, and networking settings. The event is structured as a guided workshop rather than a lecture, allowing for both instruction and personal application. Attendees will have the opportunity to receive direct feedback on their resumes, gain practical advice on managing a professional online presence, and learn the visual and interpersonal components of professional branding. Overall, the workshop serves as a hands-on introduction to essential professional development practices.
