Bio
Briana Peña, MS, CPRW
I worked with Meg during her time as a Career Development Coach at Mount Wachusett Community College in 2016, and, undoubtedly, one of her greatest strengths is her dedication to the students. It's imperative that higher education professionals constantly consider the needs of the students. She is a thoughtful, collaborative, analytical, and enthusiastic professional who always brings a positive perspective to what she does. She demonstrates a wealth of knowledge in Career Development and Academic Advising.
