1. Tell us about your journey since graduation.
After graduation, I was able to secure an entry-level
communications job at the Renaissance Center in downtown Detroit,
working for General Motors. Due to COVID-19, I then worked remotely
for about 2 years. I'm now the marketing strategist at a construction
equipment distributor called Midland Tool & Supply based in Royal
Oak, MI.

Enjoying all the festivities of Welcome Week or being able to
attend the final Toast with T. Haas!

The best piece of advice I ever received was simply to look both
ways before crossing the street.

Enlightened, opportunistic, and communal.

I'd like to make a difference in the world by always operating
