With two degrees under his belt, the former men\u2019s water polo player uses what he\u2019s learned at Chapman to help him navigate finding a career.<\/p>\n<p>Despite being in the workforce for just a couple of years, Wilson has had an immense amount of experience in several different careers. He has worked in Human Resources at a software development company, coached men\u2019s and women\u2019s water polo at the University of Redlands (traitor?), given his very own TedX talk on the disability spirit, all leading to his current job as a Resource Manager for The Crypsis Group, a cybersecurity company.<\/p>\n<p>Wilson\u2019s first job after completing the 4+1 graduate program at Chapman was in the HR department of one of the only major software development companies in the Inland Empire, ESRI. In this position, he helped with onboarding and training, using the skills he learned in his leadership classes to build relationships with new hires and make them feel comfortable in their new roles.<\/p>\n<p>A new resident of the Inland Empire, Wilson made connections with the water polo coaches out at the University of Redlands and secured an assistant coaching job for both the men\u2019s and women\u2019s teams. A job, he said, was totally worth it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt made for long days, definitely. Early in the morning, having to go to practice, then work, then more practice and weekends. Not too much social or free time, but it was definitely worth it. It was actually a lot of fun.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While coaching the men\u2019s water polo team in the fall of 2019, Wilson realized that he could draw on the training he was doing at work to help his student-athletes. His trainings for employees centered around emotional intelligence and how you handle your emotions paired with stress in and out of the workplace. After leading one of these workshops with members of the water polo team, they nominated him to give his very own TedX talk at a conference the University was hosting the next year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI kind of adapted some of what I was doing in the workplace and did it for the men\u2019s team\u201d, Wilson said. \u201cThey seemed to really like that and after I did one of those sessions and they nominated me to speak at a conference and it happened to be a TedX talk.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Wilson\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=tTL_5VEo6OE\">TedX talk<\/a> was on the disability spirit. For those of you that don\u2019t know, Wilson was born with fibular hemimelia, a condition in which a person is born with no fibula. His leg was amputated at just 16 months old to ensure that he would eventually be able to walk. You can read more about Wilson\u2019s journey as an athlete <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thepantheronline.com\/sports\/mens\/wilson-parnell-overcomes-odds\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Wilson continued to coach at Redlands and work at ESRI until COVID-19 hit. The women\u2019s water polo season was canceled in the middle of March and he was also looking for new opportunities for his career.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRight around the time COVID was really starting, I was looking to see what else was out there in terms of other jobs. I wasn\u2019t really planning on leaving but I got a pretty great opportunity as a Resource Manager for a startup cyber security company.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This is where we find Wilson now, helping to put out the many fires that come with the cyber security territory. \u201cYou may see things in the news like a company gets breached or there is ransomware, we handle and investigate these types of cases\u201d, he said. \u201cWe\u2019re kind of like an emergency room for cyber security. A company comes to us with a problem and we have to figure it out right away.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Although Wilson said his major is \u201ctotally unrelated to what I\u2019m doing now\u201d, he is grateful for his time as a student-athlete at Chapman to help with where he is now in his career.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe student-athlete part is important because you\u2019re definitely juggling a lot. My last year, I was juggling working, playing water polo, doing research and going to class. The student-athlete portion definitely prepared me in the time management portion of working.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He explains how an athlete\u2019s sense of competitiveness and willingness to yourself in tough spots makes you a key player in the work force.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOther athletes I have been engaged with who are working now are all generally competitive and competitive with themselves. I feel like an athlete to some degree enjoys that level of competition. They want to be that one to take the winning shot or make the winning play and that definitely translates into working.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When asked if he had any advice to fellow alumni, Wilson touched on how important it is to build relationships with the people that you meet throughout your life.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBeing on a team and networking and connecting with people is a big key. That\u2019s kind of what I\u2019ve done. Connecting with people on a different level.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wilson Parnell &#8217;18 gives us an insight as to where his career has taken him two years after graduating<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3496,"featured_media":7258,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"custom_author_name":"","chapman_pin_hero_slider":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6863","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.2 -
