Career Counselor
Coordinator, Physical & Life Sciences Majors
(805) 893-4412
Christopher.Gavin@sa.ucsb.edu
What are your specialty areas/majors?
I am the career counselor for the Life & Physical Sciences students covering majors such as; Environmental Studies, EEMB, MCDB, Geography, Earth Science, Chemistry and Biochemistry, Bren School of Environmental Science and Management and Exercise & Sports Studies (minor). During a typical career service workday, you will find me advising students during drop-in hours as well as appointments, facilitating career services workshops, performing career assessment interpretations and collaborating with faculty and academic advisors in my career areas.

What other careers have you had?
Working at UCSB has been a dream opportunity ever since I starting in career counseling in 2005. Most recently I have worked as a career counselor at the UC Davis Internship & Career Center as well as a recruiting coordinator in the Haas School of Business at UC Berkeley. Working with students and their careers is something I am extremely passionate and committed to and I look forward to meeting UCSB’s best and brightest. Before career counseling I spent 6 years as an outside sales representative for a promotional company along with working in a family restaurant for 5 years.

When you are not on campus, what do you like doing
When I am not at work I enjoy all outdoor activities. I am an avid sports fan who enjoys swimming, biking, kayaking and hiking. I participate in triathlons throughout the year as well. I enjoy reading, traveling and spending time with my fiancé and family. I have spent the last 32 years in the Bay Area and am excited for my move down south!
