1. Tell us about your journey since graduation.
After graduating in December 2021, I continued my professional career at Steelcase, where I supported dealers in financial reviews, business development, and product analysis. After gaining valuable insights on pricing from a sales perspective, I decided to transition into a role that is focused on pricing strategy. This led me to Gordon Food Service, where I currently am a Strategic Pricing Analyst within the Revenue Management Department. In this role, I leverage advanced pricing strategies to maximize our sales margin and drive customer profitability. Through this experience, I have cultivated a passion for pricing analytics, data-driven decision-making, and servant leadership.

2. Share a favorite Grand Valley memory.
One of my favorite memories was when the Seidman Investment Portfolio Organization was recognized as the Most Improved Student Organization. After three years as Vice President of Marketing, it was incredibly rewarding to see our hard work acknowledged and to realize the positive impact we had on future students. The organization continues to thrive, and I will always credit it with shaping my success and ambition!

3. What's the best piece of advice you've ever received?
The best piece of advice I received is that there are people who watch things happen, wonder what happened, and make things happen. Strive to be someone who makes things happen.

4. List three words you would use to describe your Grand Valley experience.
Rewarding, inspiring, and transformative!

5. What difference would you like to make in the world?
The world contains negativity and darkness, I hope to bring joy, positivity and laughter to areas that need some extra light!
