Teagan O'Connor
Director of Career Services
One University Boulevard
Bluffton, SC 29909
I’m the Director of Career Services at USCB. I also teach University 101 and serve
as a Student Success Coach as part of the Student Development team. I earned a bachelor’s
degree, Magna Cum Laude, in Sociology, with a minor in Communication Studies, from
Manhattanville College (2009) and a master’s in public administration from New York
University’s Robert F. Wagner School of Public Service (2011).
Additionally, I became a Certified Professional Resume Writer in 2021 through the
Professional Association of Resume Writers & Career Coaches and completed Facilitating
Career Development Training through the National Career Development Association in
2024.
I am deeply passionate about the work we do in Student Development and am proud to be part of such a dedicated team. Developing strong relationships with students and a sense of belonging is at the heart of our division’s work. I am a learner at heart and love exploring and implementing new initiatives to enhance career services for USCB students, especially in a world of work that is rapidly changing and ever evolving.
Beyond my roles here at USCB, my greatest joy is being mom to my two young sons. In my free time you can find me exploring the Lowcountry with my boys, spending time with loved ones, and learning new hobbies – from pickleball to rock climbing.
