About Me
Hi, I’m Carol Marchan, a proud mujer Mexicana with strong roots in the immigrant community.
I was born and raised in the Logan Square area in Chicago, IL., and love everything about this city. During my undergraduate career my focus was primarily in the field of Communication, however, I spent a large amount of time in the College of Commerce.
Following my passions, I find myself in the Consulting industry as a Career Consultant. I am proud to say I carry on my alma mater’s Vincentian values in my work today by helping people achieve their educational goals and guiding them through the job search process with stellar career services, brand management, and networking tips and tricks
During my free time I enjoy spending time with my nieces and nephews, family and friends. I believe in the power of a strong network. I enjoy traveling and a nice whiskey.
