Small-World Connections, Big Career Dreams

Jennifer Bangoura is a huge believer in finding small-world connections wherever she is in life. Starting her professional life as an Art History and French major in college, she grew very interested in West Africa and later moved to Mali as a Peace Corps volunteer. While she was in Africa between Mali and Bamako, she fell in love with not only the man who would become her husband but also the pursuit of a career path in education. From schooling in Vermont to becoming a travel coordinator, to then working as a career services specialist, follow along as Jennifer recounts the fascinating story of her life up to the point where she is now: the Director of Career Innovation with Nexford University, as well as a consultant for the Future of Learning Fund in Africa.
