PROFESSIONAL BIO

MY STORY

I recently graduated from Indiana University with a degree in Marketing and Professional Sales from the Kelley School of Business. I entered college as a Hudson & Holland scholar as well as a direct admit to the Kelley School of Business. Throughout college, I was a Steering Committee member for the IU Student Foundation and the Chief of Corporate Relations for the Global Sales Workshop hoping to build my communication and leadership skills while making a difference on and off campus.

In April of 2012, my passion for helping others and my skills of leadership and determination led me to travel to Haiti on a mission trip. During this week I spent hours painting newly constructed houses and interacting with malnourished children and families. In March of 2015, I utilized my skills and passions once again while traveling to Costa Rica in hopes of making a similar difference. This trip entailed teaching children English, as well as painting and repairing schools. Finally, I founded a new club on the Indiana University campus called Project Kids Network that aimed to benefit children in some way all across the world. These experiences shaped me into the compassionate and driven person that I am today with hopes of making a positive, long-lasting impact on any company I work for or person I interact with.
