While earning her master’s degree, Crittela worked with the women’s softball program as a graduate assistant, assisting with game management and serving as an ambassador during recruitment efforts and prospective student visits.

Crittela recently worked as a graduate intern in Onondaga Community College’s Office of Student Orientation, Leadership, and Engagement, where she collaborated with campus partners and students to identify needs, interests, and barriers to planning programs and events.
