What did you want to be when you grew up (when you were little)? In high school? Now what do you want to be?
​In high school I wanted to be an ophthalmologist, but then I took my first economics class and have been an econ nerd ever since! I don’t have a specific position in mind as of now, I just want to pursue an opportunity that will allow me to move somewhere new and work for a company with a great company culture! Down the line I would like to pursue a master’s degree and possibly a PhD.

Favorite Food: Potatoes of all kinds!

Other extracurriculars:
Seidman Supply Chain Management Association and IM Sports

Favorite event from and/or thing about DSP:
My favorite event was our 2018 Spring Formal. It was a day after my birthday, so it was a fun way to celebrate with all of the brothers! I also love attending Provincial Lead Conferences. I have made so many connections and friends from various chapters by attending those conferences!

Favorite thing about Grand Valley: Being close to Lake Michigan, there are many prime hammocking spots, and the various breweries in the surrounding area.

Why did you join DSP?
I joined DSP to gain a network of career driven peers. I also wanted to expand my professional network outside of Grand Valley. I have made so many wonderful connections and am extremely grateful for the lifelong friends I’ve made from being involved with DSP.

Why did you choose Grand Valley?
I chose Grand Valley because of its amazing location near the city of Grand Rapids and the beaches on Lake Michigan!

Where do you want to be in 10 years?
​ II want to have a career that makes me happy and helps me make a difference. I hope to escape the brutal Michigan winters and head back west. I also plan to have two dachshund puppies!
