Sara Jay
In my role as the Associate Director for Career Pathways and Education at the University of Florida’s Career Connections Center, I provide leadership and spearhead strategic initiatives to shape and elevate the C3’s Career Pathways model. Proactively removing barriers to industry education, this model empowers students to explore diverse career and skill development opportunities, regardless of their majors.
I am a Certified Master of Career Services (CMCS) and a Certified Facilitating Career Development Instructor (FCD-I) accredited by the National Career Development Association. I have the privilege of delivering extensive training to new and experienced career development professionals through an intensive 120-hour Facilitating Career Development curriculum. This experience-based curriculum teaches essential skills needed for the future of work. Engaging in dynamic conversations with fellow career development professionals to share insights and nurture their evolution into exemplary practitioners is a passion of mine

As Manager for Career Pathways for Healthcare and Health Sciences, I strive to provide support and assistance to students exploring and pursing careers in both individual and public health.
I grew up in southeast Louisiana, and as a transplant from one swamp to another, I enjoy all the wonderful outdoor activities Gainesville has to offer. I also enjoy facilitating interactive workshops, giving students the opportunity to learn and practice relevant career skills. Students and alumni can also meet with me for individualized support.
