The CoLab is an excellent resource for students looking for career counseling because of the opportunity to work with Jillann one-on-one. From my personal experience working with and for Jillann, I have gained personal guidance and tailored recommendations about future plans. Working for Jillann has also allowed me to further enhance my application of LMC skills in a collaborative, creative environment.

Jillann is one of the best things to happen to the Ivan Allen College at Georgia Tech. She has a level of consideration and support that exceeded my expectations. No matter the issue, Jillann would promptly aide me in every way she could. I plan to keep her as a close advisor and resource even after I graduate from Georgia Tech and pursue careers in creative fields.

I'd had a hard time finding some guidance for the specifics of a Computational Media degree during my time at Georgia Tech, but meeting with Jillann at the CoLab was a very different experience. There were a lot of people who send you straight to the designated resources and can feel very robotic, but sitting down with Jillann felt like I was working with a coach who was willing to bend the rules, think outside the box, and make sure that I found success. I'm still in contact with her to this day, working on a writing career and finding jobs that fit the unique opportunities of a Computational Media degree.
