Tiffany Chen (she/her)

Hello! I’m Tiffany (she/her), and I'm a Career Advisor on the Undergraduate team at the Centre for Career Development. I am a Waterloo alum with a Bachelor of Arts in Social Development Studies, two minors in Psychology and Sociology, and a specialization in Social Work. I was also an active volunteer with UW MATES and with the Sexual Assault Support Centre for the Waterloo Region for two years.

After I graduated from university, I worked in many student-facing roles, including school secretary, Academic Advisor, and Co-op Student Advisor, to name a few. Now, I’m excited to be a part of your coop/career journey as a Career Advisor! I don't believe I know which choices are right in someone else's life, but I'm happy to work through possible next steps together and help you get closer to your goal, whatever that might be, in a caring, supportive, nonjudgmental space.

I was born in Canada, but I spent most of my childhood years in Taiwan, which made me into the big foodie I am today with a weakness for Asian snacks. I also love watching Asian drama series (especially Korean dramas) and anime films (I’m a fan of everything by Studio Ghibli and Makoto Shinkai). You can also talk to me about self-care, traveling/exploring new places, drawing/painting, cooking/baking, board games, cute animals, Pixar, and other feel-good movies!
