Background

About Marley Olson

As a dedicated Career Development Advisor at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, I specialize in guiding undergraduate engineering students toward successful career paths. With a strong background in resume review and optimization, interview preparation, and professional development, I am committed to empowering students with the tools they need to thrive in the competitive job market. My journey began as a teacher, where I honed my lesson planning and teaching skills. This foundation in education paved the way for my transition into community development, where I managed event programming and project management for notable organizations such as the Tucson Festival of Books and the United Way. These experiences enriched my ability to develop and deliver impactful workshops and training sessions. I hold a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Arizona and am a certified Arizona State Teacher for grades K-8. I have also pursued a Masters in Urban and Regional Planning from Ball State University. My diverse educational background and professional experiences have equipped me with a unique perspective and a comprehensive skill set. Key skills include event planning, project management, class and workshop development, teaching, data analysis, public speaking, written and verbal communication, and coaching. I am passionate about leveraging these skills to support students' career journeys and build meaningful connections with industry professionals.
