Peer Educators Team

Hi, my name is Brianna Wright and I am a junior studying Law & Public Policy with minors in Urban Planning & Community Development and Environmental Management. I have had experience working in the City of Fishers and Chambers Law LLC, as well as the Indiana Housing and Community Development Authority to learn about affordable housing. In the future, I would like to work in the local or federal government to support affordable housing and sustainability initiatives. On campus, I am involved in Alpha Phi Omega Co-Ed Service Fraternity, Women in Government, and Bring Change to Mind. In my free time, I enjoy listening to podcasts, going for runs, and trying new coffee shops.

I am the kind of person to plan 1, 5, and 10 years ahead, so as a freshman I stopped into the career hub quite often to learn how to write a cover letter, search for internships, and practice for interviews. The support I gained from the hub was profound, so I decided to apply to become a part of the team. Since then, I have loved helping students who are looking to advance their professional careers!

Hi Everyone!

My name is Debby Mathebula, I am from Johannesburg South Africa. I am a second-year master’s student pursuing my Master of Public Affairs in Sustainability and Sustainable Development. I hold a bachelor’s degree in marketing and management which unlocked a job in Sales working as an Account manager in a Food and Beverage multinational company.  I have also worked with Nonprofit organizations focusing on Food Security and Food sustainability which has led to my transition to my current area of study. What brought me to the career hub is my love for learning and helping others. Being able to meet new people and make a difference in someone’s day!

Q: What is your favorite TV show or movie and why?

A: I love The Big Bang Theory. I think it’s an awesome blend of comedy and learning. The humor is out of this world, and I have yet to meet a group of physicists as passionate as those guys. Also, who doesn’t love Sheldon Cooper?!

Q: What is your favorite part of your hometown?

A: I love Soweto in Johannesburg. It is full of history, South African culture, and diversity. You will meet great people and eat a lot of rich African food. It’s a place to visit to have a wholesome SA experience and it is an amazing tourist spot.

Hi! I am a junior from New Albany, Indiana studying Law and Public Policy with minors in Healthcare Management & Policy and Sports Marketing & Management. This is my second year as a peer educator, and I am excited to be back! I chose to be a peer educator because I want to lead a life of service and advocacy as a lawyer, and I thought that helping others with their professional development would be a great way to serve. When I am not at the career hub, I am also a teaching assistant, the Treasurer for the Pre-Law Association, and a member of the IUSG Supreme Court! I hope to combine my interests for healthcare and sports into law practice as my future career.

A: If I were in the zombie apocalypse, my go to weapon would be a bow and arrow so I don’t have to get too close to any zombies.

What is your favorite part of your hometown? 

My favorite part of my hometown is enjoying a summer evening with family and friends! My family spends our summers cooking fun meals together and hosting dinner parties with our neighbors and friends. An evening spent in the backyard full of country music, roasting s’mores, laughter and long conversations is home to me!

On Sunday mornings, you can usually find me…

You can find me enjoying a long walk with a friend, planning for the week ahead, and reading from my current bible study devotional. I love that Sundays are an opportunity to rest and recharge!

Bio: I am a second-year O’Neill student majoring in Law & Public Policy and minoring in Spanish. I feel most passionate about advocacy, human rights, and DEI efforts within organizations. Ultimately, I intend to become a human rights attorney, where I will promote the growth of a more inclusive and prosperous society by obtaining justice for the oppressed.

Q: What has been your craziest work experience?

A: In the summers I work as a camp counselor. This year we led our campers on a river trip but did not anticipate scattered thunderstorms throughout the week. Luckily, we had enough tents for the campers to sleep in without getting wet, but none for the staff. Our only option was for all 10 of us to cram inside of a U-Haul truck like sardines. It was so uncomfortable.

Q: What was the most embarrassing moment of your life?

A: Freshman year I tripped walking up the stairs outside of O’Neill. My coffee poured out onto my jeans but I didn’t have the option of going to get a change of clothes. That entire day I kept getting asked if I peed my pants. Those stairs are an actual walking hazard and you can’t convince me otherwise.

Hello everyone! My name is Aleksandra Ramōn, and I am studying Law and Public Policy at the O’Neill School. I am on a pre-law track, and throughout my career, I want to work to find rehabilitative alternatives to incarceration for people suffering from substance use disorders. I am so happy to have this opportunity to serve my peers as a Peer Educator at the Career Hub! I have really enjoyed learning more about professional development throughout my undergraduate career, and I want to spread this valuable knowledge to others.

In addition to working as a Peer Educator, I also serve on the executive board of Phi Alpha Delta Pre-Law Fraternity. I really enjoy working with the pre-law community and meeting like-minded people with similar career goals. I was in the Civic Leaders Center my freshman year, and I studied abroad in Greece last summer. I am taking advantage of every wonderful opportunity IU and the O’Neill School has to offer!

Q: What is your favorite part of your hometown?

A: My hometown of Portage, Indiana borders the south shore of Lake Michigan. I love to go to the beach with family and friends, bask in the sun during the day, and watch sunsets in the evening.

I am a second year MPA student with a specialized concentration in International Sustainable Policy.

As a career goal, I am particularly interested in promoting the advancement of sustainability in public and international affairs through international employment or consultancy.

I have a passion for sharing tips and helping my colleagues and students in general to have a clear career path at undergraduate and graduate educational levels. This passion led me to the O’Neil Career Hub where I currently serve as a graduate peer educator.

At a personal level, I am a “religious” customer and fan of Starbucks grande iced caramel macchiato with oat milk and extra caramel drizzle, and the Starbucks shop on Kirkwood is my go-to shop. At the age of 10 years, my dream job was to become a lawyer and work at the United Nations. Safe to say that dream has been manifested in reality. I am now a lawyer, and I served my MPA summer 2023 practicum with the United Nations in New York through the Permanent Mission of the Republic of Namibia to the United Nations.

My favorite quote is from Marianne Williamson “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? ………….”
