My favorite memories are the day-to-day study sessions I would have in Mackinac with friends. It would always end up in a hang-out as more people would walk through.

In my 2nd year on campus I took a job with GV Public Safety. Working with DPS introduced me to the world of policing. I soon after found myself changing my major and starting down a new career path.

As I was a military veteran and married when I entered GVSC, I was driven to excel in my education. The professors were excellent and I loved walking the then rough campus, including ropes to assist on the sidewalks in the winter.

Some of my favorite memories come from my time running GrandPR, GVSU's student-run communications firm. It was both challenging and rewarding, and I met many of my closest friends because of it.
