Miranda Redman
Associate Director of Career Services
1. How did you get to your position at O’Neill?
My career path has been varied but always grouped around service and management. While earning my anthropology degree, I worked for a national bookstore and I decided to shift my career path to retail management, then into hospitality management, and finally to student career services where I have truly found my home.
2. What part do you enjoy the most about working in the Career Hub at O’Neill?
For me this is a tie between watching students discover how they can “Lead for the Greater Good” in their own authentic way, and connecting with an organization or company who hired one of our students/alumni and they can’t wait to hire another one!
3. What are some of your favorite things outside of work?
I love to read, cook, watch movies, and swim!
4. What is a quote or saying that you live by?
“There is no story that is not true.” ― Chinua Achebe, Things Fall Apart
5. Favorite album of all time?
I can’t answer this, give me a mix tape! Anyone know what that is now?
6. Advice for students?
Your first destination after your degree program is not your final destination. Choose what you want to do next, not forever, it’s much less intimidating.
Andy Bosk
I am excited to join O’Neill after 10 years as the Director of Career Connections at the School of Education, three years at the Career Development Center, and 3 years at Manchester University. Seeing students’ growth–whether it is through self-assessment, internship experience, discovering a major/career, or engaging with potential employers–keeps me energized. I love music, sports, games, art, and coffee!
Celeste Ross
Career Coach
Former U.S. Marine Corps Officer turned O’Neill School Career Coach, passionate about guiding veterans, students, alumni, and professionals to achieve their full potential. With over two decades of experience spanning military public affairs, public relations, and higher education, I bring a unique perspective to career development. As a recent O’Neill School MPA graduate myself, I offer a fresh, insider’s view of the student experience and the challenges of transitioning into the professional world. As a career coach, I leverage my diverse background and recent academic journey to support students in their professional development. This dual perspective as both a recent graduate and a seasoned professional gives me a deep understanding of the needs of our students and alumni. I aim to empower O’Neill undergraduates, graduates, and alumni to translate their military, academic, and work experiences into compelling career narratives. I thrive on connecting people with opportunities and am known for my ability to build strong relationships across diverse groups. Whether it’s developing impactful resumes, crafting targeted cover letters, honing interview skills, or navigating career transitions, I’m committed to helping others succeed. My recent graduation experience enhances my ability to provide relevant, up-to-date guidance on academic and career pathways. Let’s connect! I’m always eager to discuss career strategies, internship or job opportunities, veteran support, or swap stories about life in the Corps. As a fellow O’Neill alum, I’m particularly excited to share insights about maximizing your O’Neill experience for career success.
Lill Clarke
Career Coach
Hello there! I’m Lillian Clarke, and I’m thrilled to be your new Career Coach at the O’Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs. As a proud O’Neill alum, I majored in Human Resources and minored in Theatre and Law and Public Policy. I’m currently pursuing my Master’s in Management, with a specialization in Human Resources with IU Online.
During my time at O’Neill, I made the most of our fantastic programs! I studied abroad, joined student organizations like the Human Resource Association, and completed my undergrad thesis with the O’Neill Honors Program. These experiences not only expanded my professional network but also enriched my personal connections.
As a past Career Hub student peer educator, I have helped many O’Neill students in their career development journey, with coaching through the job search, tailoring resumes and cover letters, and finding professional events where students can practice their networking skills and meet potential employers.
After graduation, my O’Neill required internship credit landed me my first full-time role in human resources at Oliver Winery. From there, I gained valuable experience and returned to Indiana University, where I worked with IU’s HR Talent Acquisition team. A few months in that position, I made a career change and have returned to the O’Neill Career Hub as a Career Coach.
Whether you’re a first-year student or a grad student, you’ve made the right choice with O’Neill! In this school, I found my community during my IU experience and want to contribute by encouraging and equipping you to find your desired internship and career upon graduation. At the Career Hub, our team of knowledgeable peer educators and career coaches are ready and eager to help you land your dream career. I can’t wait to meet you and support your growth during your time at IU and beyond. Go Hoosiers!
Sophia Goris
Career Coach
Hi everyone! My name is Sophia Goris, and I am so excited to be stepping into a career coaching role for the O’Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs. As someone who has switched majors in undergrad and again in my master’s program, I know how important it is to have the chance to explore different job opportunities in order to find the right fit. I am proud and delighted to be able to help students discover a career that will bring them joy and fulfillment, and to help them make the necessary career changes if it doesn’t. Everyone deserves to have a job that makes them happy, and I believe that it’s possible for everyone to achieve.
I am an IU alum with a bachelor’s degree in English, and I am looking to complete a master’s degree in either counseling or social work within the next few years. Apart from work, I am passionate about painting, baking, and animals. Show me a picture of a cute pet or discuss Great British Bakeoff and we will be great friends!
