Tammison Smith

Tammison is currently the Associate Director at the Career Center at St. Cloud State University. Her career path has allowed her to meander from academic research in the Alzheimer’s Disease Center at the University of Kanas Medical Center to career counseling at the Career Services Network at Michigan State University. Tammison received her master’s in Counseling Psychology from Avila University and her doctorate in Counselor Education and Supervision from Walden University. She has worked with a range of populations throughout her career including in-patient mental health patients, the elderly with dementia, displaced workers, students with disabilities, and Native American students. In addition to her counseling work, Tammison has researched anxiety and career readiness and identity and program retention and taught master’s classes in college counseling and vocational rehabilitation programs, but her favorite role is as a practicum/ intern supervisor for master’s students learning to be career counselors. She is a self-described career theory geek who is always up for good late-night conversation!
