Eric Green
Assistant Director and Career Coach for all Journalism majors (Advertising, Broadcast Journalism, Digital Communication Analytics, Digital & Print Journalism, Photojournalism, Public Relations) and World Languages
I am a dedicated professional who is passionate about supporting others in their personal and professional growth. As a strong lead for our Career Ambassador’s program and High School Connect program, I am committed to providing opportunities for individuals to thrive and develop.
In my role, what I appreciate most is the chance to support and empower others. I find great joy in helping individuals discover their potential and achieve their professional and personal goals. Whether it’s aiding our UNT students with their career decisions or contributing to the growth of the teams I support, I am fully invested in making a positive impact.
Outside of work, I have a deep love for live music and enjoy connecting with friends. While I take my role as a husband and father seriously, I also have a fun and adventurous side. One day, I aspire to try standup comedy, as I believe laughter is a powerful tool for bringing people together.
Emily Harris
Career Coach- Career Readiness & High School Career Connect
Hello! My name is Emily Harris, and I oversee the High School Career Connect Peer Mentor Program and Career Readiness Peer Mentor Programs within the Career Center. In addition to these areas, I also serve as a Career Coach generalist with a focus on supporting the needs of Journalism students and faculty. I am a first-generation college graduate with a B.S. in Psychology from Tarleton State University and an M.Ed. in Higher Education from the University of North Texas (Go Mean Green!). My background in higher education includes experiences in Orientation, New Student Programming, Career Coaching and Leadership Development. As a Career Coach, I get so much fulfillment out of supporting students through the many challenges associated with getting career ready and enjoy helping them recognize their value and develop confidence in their skills and experiences through individualized, one on one coaching. Student development is my passion and I absolutely LOVE this work! Outside of UNT, I serve as a Co-Lead Facilitator for the LeaderShape Institute where I get to travel and facilitate leadership curriculum to high school and college students across the nation. When I am not Coaching, I am mom to two little ones, several houseplants and an Aussie named Houston. I enjoy being outdoors and love camping, hiking, and traveling to National Parks with my family any chance I get, as well as exploring my creative side through art, graphic design, and interior design.
