Ryan provides one-on-one advising across a broad range of interests, covering topics including:

• Choosing concentrations
• Practice interviews
• Internship and job search planning
• Graduate school planning and applications

He advises students interested in all career fields, and in particular enjoys speaking with students about STEM careers. 

A fun fact about me is: I’ve explored the Costa Rican rainforest, Kenyan savanna and Arizonan desert when traveling to carry out ecological research as a student.

I’m looking forward to my new position because: Working with students to help each individual pursue their interest-driven goals is very energizing for me. I first grew this passion as an Assistant in Instruction at Princeton – it is wonderful to be back!

My first job after graduation: Teaching high school biology and environmental science. I enjoyed encouraging students to figure out what engaged them in science regardless of their preferred subjects.

I’m passionate about: Video games. I love all things Nintendo, PlayStation, and PC. I was fortunate enough to attend a day of League of Legends World Championship games when they came to New York City in 2022!

One skill I would like to master: Creative writing. I took a playwriting class in college and delved into novel writing when undergoing a career shift. It takes much more commitment and practice than I thought – a challenge that makes me want to keep at it.
