About Mary Mercado
As a Career Engagement Strategist, I specialized in empowering students to transition confidently from campus to career. With a strong foundation in higher education, I led recruitment efforts for all student worker roles across SPU and designed impactful professional development programs that ensure graduates were career-ready.My passion for student success is rooted in hands-on experience and strategic insight. During my rotational internship at the Boston Consulting Group, I gained exposure to Recruitment, Operations, Staffing, Learning & Development, and Human Resources—building a versatile skill set that informs my holistic approach to career services.I bring a dynamic blend of administrative expertise, event planning finesse, and a deep understanding of professional development. Whether coordinating campus-wide initiatives or mentoring students one-on-one, I thrive on creating meaningful opportunities that foster growth and confidence.With an AA in Business and a BS in Marketing Management, I combine academic rigor with strong communication skills to connect with diverse audiences and drive results. I’m always seeking innovative ways to bridge the gap between education and employment, and I’m excited to collaborate with professionals who share a commitment to student empowerment and workforce readiness.
