Ed Tillett

Career Coach

Health Communications & Director

Sectors: Academia and Government

Degrees: MA (Health Communications), BS (Physiology)

A consistent theme that is embedded in my approach to supporting those I serve is to elevate underrepresented voices, foster belonging, and create opportunities for success through advocacy and empowerment.

My career began at Michigan State University, where I earned a Bachelor of Science in Physiology and a Master of Arts in Health Communication with a specialization in International Development.  While I thought my path was set as a future physician, each step in my journey revealed a greater purpose—helping others navigate their professional journeys and empower them to see the strength that they possess within themselves to be successful.

Through roles in career services, student affairs, and business education, I have developed career programs, expanded employer engagement, and built networks that connect folks of various backgrounds to opportunities.  From leading diversity recruitment efforts to launching signature events, I have worked to bridge the gap between those I serve, and discovery of the careers they aspire to.

Along the way, I met with many folks who despite immense potential, have struggled to find their place and their fit, not because they lacked ability, but because they lacked access, mentorship, and guidance. What motivates me in this role is to coach and empower you to take control of your career journey and confidently step into your future.

If you are ready to explore your career path, build your confidence, and access the opportunities you deserve, I’m here to help. You belong in the spaces you aspire to be in, and together, we will make sure you get there.
