1. Tell us about your journey since graduation.
Immediately after graduating from GVSU, I moved back in with my
parents and attended Wayne State University Law School full time. I
earned my law degree in 2024 and began working in private practice.
I’ve since joined the firm's Business Practice Group, where I
specialize in M&A and impact investing.
2. Share a favorite Grand Valley memory.
My favorite memory from GVSU has to be giving tours for the
Admissions Office. I loved getting to meet potential students and
parents and share my love for the university. I made great friends
with my fellow tour guides, and I’m so thankful for that experience.
3. What's the best piece of advice you've ever received?
The best piece of advice I ever received was to seek out advice
wherever you can get it, but only take what feels right for your
journey and let go of the rest. I am where I am because of the
guidance and support of so many people who came before me, but I also
got a lot of advice that just wasn’t right for my path. I had to
practice letting that go and doing what’s best for me, even if that
sometimes meant making mistakes.
4. List three words you would use to describe your Grand
Valley experience.
Enlightening, adventurous, and fun.
5. What difference would you like to make in the world?
It can feel overwhelming to try to make a difference in a world
with so many problems. I hope to be the kind of leader who makes small
differences in everything I do, that whenever I’m given a choice, I
select the path that improves the environment, my community, the
project I’m engaged in, or the lives of those around me. Every small
action makes a difference!
