Integrated Career Solutions

As the Sr. Associate Director for Integrated Career Solutions I oversee the marketing, data, and technology solutions for the offices within the Career and Integrative Partnership portfolio. Our team manages the Career Connections Center’s Career Planning on Your Own initiative that aims to increase the accessibility of career readiness tools for all Gators!

My name’s David and I am an assistant director for Career Pathways and career coach for Business, Public Service, and Tourism. I’m here to help students and alumni interested in these industries explore potential career paths; gain experience through internships, volunteering, research, global engagement, or other opportunities; make connections to expand your professional network; and prepare for your next steps through developing your resume, cover letter, interview, or other professional skills.  Outside of work, I love to watch movies and TV, read, travel, and visit Walt Disney World with my wife, Danie, who also works at the Career Connections Center, and I am also a UF student working on my Doctor of Education in Higher Education Administration.

Reach out to me or schedule an appointment for help exploring or developing your career in Business, Public Service, or Tourism.

I was a first-generation college student who has a long-lasting passion for education and learning. I am currently a Manager for Integrated Career Solutions, with the goal of utilizing technology to increase access for University of Florida students to career development tools and resources, with a specific focus on community-focused technologies.  Furthermore, I am the team go-to gal for Gator Network and LinkedIn. Outside of work, you can find me rollerblading, painting, writing poetry, or at the beach.

Please feel free to connect with me on LinkedIn or email me at altenburg.m@ufl.edu to collaborate and learn more about the educational technology used at the Career Connections Center.

I serve as the Career Pathways Coach for Arts, Communications, Media and Marketing at the University of Florida’s Career Connection Center. Using the principles of Universal Design for Learning (UDL), I provide students with individualized career planning support, facilitate programs and develop resources to aid in career development. I also provide Gators with industry knowledge who are exploring careers in arts, communication, media and marketing. 

My previous roles include working as an Accessibility Specialist at UF’s Disability Resource Center and teaching in K-5 settings in Alachua County Public Schools. With a background in K-20 education and a strong commitment towards removing barriers and empowering students, I am thrilled to support you on your career journey.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my husband, traveling, volunteering in the community with my certified therapy dog, and dancing salsa.
