Audra Kopp's Portfolio

Audra has excellent communication and interpersonal skills. She has an innate ability to connect with individuals on a personal level, creating a comfortable and supportive environment for students to express their career aspirations, concerns, and goals. Audra actively listens to her clients, ensuring that their needs and desires are understood and acknowledged. Through her personable communication style, she effectively conveys complex information, such as career options, job search strategies, and interview techniques, in a manner that is easily understandable to college students.

Audra is also a highly collaborative and team-oriented professional. She actively contributes to group discussions, offers insightful perspectives, and is willing to share her expertise with colleagues. She recognizes the importance of collaboration and believes in the power of collective wisdom.

It is an honor to work with Audra. She constantly shares warmth, kindness, and wisdom with all who come in contact with her. Audra and I work together as Career Coaches at Liberty University Career Services. Audra provides comprehensive career development services for the School of Behavioral Sciences. She is a master at teaching employability skills in the classroom and unsurpassed in coaching students. What makes Audra so special is that she started at Liberty University as a student. She knows what it is like to be a student trying to launch a career. Audra’s own career within Career Services has taken her from initially providing exceptional customer service at the front desk, to the Career Coach I role designing/facilitating Career Services’ workshops, to presently the Career Coach II role collaborating with faculty on curriculum integration, providing classroom presentations, and coaching students. Through all of this, Audra’s ability to connect with, guide, and encourage her students is unsurpassed. In follow-up surveys, students commend her for, “Being empathetic, knowledgeable, and providing practical advice.” Because of this, her students feel comfortable sharing their career challenges with her and getting the assistance they need. As a result of Audra’s work to practically coach and build relationships, her workload is exploding as the School of Behavioral Sciences opens up new opportunities and students clamor for appointments. For me, it is a privilege to work with Audra. She models communication, exceeds expectations, and is committed to being the best. However, she does all of this with a spirit of humility and a servant’s heart.

It is an honor working at Liberty University Career Services with Audra for the past 2-1/2 years. She is friendly, knowledgeable, patient, encouraging, and exudes professionalism in her career field by developing key relationships with companies in her career field, and with deans, professors, staff, student workers, and students. She represents career services while proving classroom presentations to support other departments, tabling at events and career fairs, during walk-in hours, and going the extra mile in her career service duties. She exemplifies leadership by gaining the student’s trust and support while guiding them to develop their business plans, resumes, and cover letters, performing mock interviews, and allowing the students to become successful in their next steps as a professional. She is innovative in communicating with her target audience by using the latest technology to reach them. She is a true asset to the career service team.
