1. Tell us about your journey since graduation.
Since graduation, I began my event career journey by starting off
as an Events Manager for the Redwater Collection. After one year, I
had an opportunity to join the non-profit world at the Chamber of
Commerce in Grand Haven, Michigan. In this role, I coordinate and
market our community events and programs ranging from festivals to
farmers' markets to parades.
2. Share a favorite Grand Valley memory.
My favorite memory of Grand Valley was when one of my meeting and
event classes coordinated the Career Center Open house, and at the
time I was a student worker at the Career Center for almost four
years. We had a very successful turnout and a great theme! It was very
empowering to be able to lead an event for them at that point during
my time at GVSU.
3. What's the best piece of advice you've ever received?
The best piece of advice I have ever received is to make sure
that you are processing, before reacting. This can be in regard to
things that are being said or done, or how you feel about a life
situation that you are in.
4. List three words you would use to describe your Grand
Valley experience.
Rewarding, Connected, Engaged
5. What difference would you like to make in the world?
The difference that I would like to make in this world is to make
my communities feel more connected and comfortable with one another.
