What is your favorite Seidman memory?
My favorite Seidman memory would have to be making friends and creating relationships with people on a similar path as me. We were able to study, grow and work towards our goals together while making memories.
Our building namesake – Bill Seidman – exhibited many desirable traits of a leader such as innovator, integrity, curiosity and future-minded. How did your experience at Seidman help you develop one or more of these traits?
Being a student with in the Seidman College of Business helped me to become future-minded. My professors always found a way to connect what we were learning in class to the real world and their experiences. This helped me to really apply what I've learned and think about how I will utilize my knowledge and skills in my future career.
What would you like people in the community to know about Seidman graduates like you?
I would like the community to know that Seidman graduates will be so much more than just an employee. We are lifelong learners and are always looking to grow. We have persevered through struggles such as learning through COVID and have come out on the other side as well rounded business individuals ready to take on anything.
What is your career aspiration?
My career aspiration is to end up in a place where I feel as though
what I am doing has purpose. I want to look back on what I've done
over the years and feel proud of not only what I've done for the
companies I've worked for but also the community and our society as a whole.
How did your time at Seidman College prepare you to contribute to your community as a Laker for a Lifetime?
The Seidman College of Business is a community in itself, full of resources and people looking to help you improve and reach your goals. The support that I have felt throughout my years at Seidman has shown me how to be a supporter and a resource to others in the GVSU community. I hope to have a positive impact on their success in the same way Seidman did for me.
