1. Tell us about your journey since graduation.
I worked as a reporter for WDET, a Detroit NPR affiliate station.
Then found passion in real estate in 2018. I've now been helping
families find homes all across Southeast Michigan.
2. Share a favorite Grand Valley memory.
During a bake sale held for GVTV in the Kirkhof Center, another
GVTV member and I held a free hugs campaign. I made a best friend that
day and we still speak daily almost 10 years later.
3. What's the best piece of advice you've ever received?
The best way to overcome being overwhelmed is to just start the
thing you are feeling overwhelmed about.
4. List three words you would use to describe your Grand
Valley experience.
Evolve, inspiring, memorable
5. What difference would you like to make in the world?
We live in such crazy times. If I left this world tomorrow, I
would hope that I brought peace and comfort to the lives of people I
met, even if just for a moment.
