1. Tell us about your journey since graduation.
I went into Hospitality Management with an emphasis in event
planning. Shortly after college, I took a job with the local Chamber
of Commerce in my area planning corporate events. I met so many
influential people and learned so much about business etiquette during
my time there. Eventually this led me to accept a physician recruiting
role at the local hospital. I planned day-long interviews for
physicians, along with hotel stays and local itineraries so they could
see the area. I developed a love for recruiting and HR. I went on to
receive my masters degree in Human Resource Development. Eventually, I
took the roll of Director of Human Resources for Presque Isle
Electric. I love that it combines event planning (interviews, training
activities, employee events) with the human resource aspect.

My favorite GV memory was studying abroad with the HTM program in
Italy! It was such an amazing experience

Give yourself permission to say no.
4. List three words you would use to describe your Grand
Valley experience.

5. What difference would you like to make in the world?
