1. Tell us about your journey since graduation.
After I graduated from GVSU, I went to work for GRCC as a career
coach for one year. In 2017 I left the USA to serve in the Peace Corps
in Ecuador. In 2019 I returned to the USA after 27 months of service
as a secondary English teacher. Then I moved to Houghton, MI to work
as an assistant director for Michigan Technological University's
career services. In 2021 I moved to Chicago, IL to begin working for
DePaul University. I currently work for DePaul University as an
assistant director in the Kellstadt Graduate School of Business.
2. Share a favorite Grand Valley memory.
My graduate assistantship provided some very fond memories and
experiences. I loved working for GVSU's Career Center, and I made so
many lifelong friends in the CSAL program. GVSU was truly a special
place that allowed me to excel in my graduate work and professional life.
3. What's the best piece of advice you've ever received?
"Lead life with love." This is difficult in practice,
but it is life changing.
4. List three words you would use to describe your Grand
Valley experience.
Fun, Professional, Community-oriented
5. What difference would you like to make in the world?
I want to help the world choose love. If everyone chooses to view
their daily life through a lens of love, the world will be a better
place. Through my daily interactions with other people, I want to
showcase what it means to lead a life of love. This includes the
professional world, not just personal. If organizations choose to make
decisions based on love, they will have a positive and direct impact
on the local and global society. The world cannot live without love.
