Julie Nguyen, Associate Director, Graduate Career Advisor, Babson College F.W. Olin School of Business

Julie Nguyen has built her career supporting students in higher education through roles in admissions, academic advising, cooperative education, and career services. At Babson College, she advises graduate students on their job and internship search, always looking for creative ways to spark engagement in career development. Her current focus is on integrating play into career education, such as through a gamified learning program. For Julie, gamification isn’t just about badges and points. It’s about designing experiences that deepen motivation and make career learning engaging and accessible. Outside of work, her love of play takes a different form: she’s an aspiring puppeteer who has studied hand puppetry, shadow puppetry, ventriloquism, and improvisation.
