Alumni Insights: Networking Tips with Christina Faulkner, G’17

We’re excited to share an interview on networking with Christina Faulkner, G’17. She graduated from Syracuse University with a M.S. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling but has since has changed career paths. Now, she is graduating Data Analytics and Information Systems in May 2021 and is starting full time as a Data and Security Engineer at IBM. We discuss what makes a good networking request, what are some types of messages that aren’t as effective, and what is the biggest thing she’s learned from being on the networking receiving side vs. teaching side.
