1. Tell us about your journey since graduation.
Since graduation, I’ve worked a few temp jobs and then ended up at an insurance company, where I’ve been for nearly five years. I’ve held a variety of roles within the company, and am currently a supervisor. I find my communication skills I honed at GVSU incredibly useful on a day to day basis, specifically now that I’m in leadership.

2. Share a favorite Grand Valley memory.
In 2014, GVSU had one of its few snow days when nearly two feet of snow fell overnight and all classes were cancelled. The campus turned into a giant winter wonderland and it was such a fun day.

3. What's the best piece of advice you've ever received?
Assume positive intent.

4. List three words you would use to describe your Grand Valley experience.
Eye-opening, enriching, enjoyable

5. What difference would you like to make in the world?
I have benefited from wonderful leadership in both my personal and professional life, and strive to pay that forward by being that type of leader for others.
