1. Tell us about your journey since graduation.
In 2018 I started my career as a software developer intern, which
led to 2019, being hired as a full-time developer and support
engineer. In 2020, I found a new job as a full-stack software engineer
and product owner at a start-up. Then in 2022, I started working as a
senior backend software developer, although I also work on frontend
technologies and share my product insights.
2. Share a favorite Grand Valley memory.
In 2017 I was on the executive board of my sorority, Alpha Sigma
Tau. I always loved participating in sorority event coordination,
helping train new members, and volunteering at Habitat for Humanity
with my sorority sisters.
3. What's the best piece of advice you've ever received?
'You did the best you could at the time with the knowledge and
tools you had then.' I am always learning and growing and that can
come with a lot of 'could-of, should-of, would-of' thoughts. It is
important to show positivity for yourself in past obstacles and
optimism for future challenges.
4. List three words you would use to describe your Grand
Valley experience.
Empowering, Insightful, and Collaborative
5. What difference would you like to make in the world?
Empower others to achieve their goals and live authentically.
