Northern Essex Community College has appointed Kalyn Ryll to be the school’s new veteran services coordinator. In that capacity, Ryll will oversee Northern Essex’s Veterans Center and work with the more than 200 veterans or military connected students enrolled at the school.
Ryll, a Haverhill native who graduated from Haverhill High School in 2003, is a federally certified career coach and job search trainer who has extensive experience work with the U.S. Army. There, Ryll worked with the Soldier for Life Transition Assistance Program. After returning home in 2015, Ryll worked in career-cultivating roles in various schools, including Curry College, Northeastern University, and Simmons College.
Of her new position, Ryll said, “This is a fantastic opportunity for me to continue to build the Veterans Center here. I want this to be a place veterans can come for help with their benefits as well as make connections with other veterans.” She added, “I want this to be a welcoming space.”
