My Story -

I'm a highly motivated Michigander and excellent communicator who's passionate about leadership and learning.

I have interned and worked at a variety of different organizations including a non-profit, several universities, a Hedge Fund, and even a Whisky e-commerce company.

I spent 5 years away from home attending school and traveling Europe. Now I'm back in the U.S., living in New England, and working at The Fed.

While I Was Away -

I completed my MSc in Tourism Marketing Management at The University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, Scotland and graduated with Merit in 2017. I focused my dissertation on the "pull" factors that influence study abroad students to choose Scotland as their international education destination choice.

I also have a BA in Media Communication, with specializations in Public Relations and Psychology from Roger Williams University in Bristol, Rhode Island.

I spent an eye-opening 6 months soaking up culture while studying abroad at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland.

I worked with a small team to create a complete PR plan and plan a 5K race for The Saint Elizabeth Community of Rhode Island.

I presented my senior Honors thesis on the British Culture Panel at the Popular Culture Association/American Culture Association Conference in Seattle, Washington.

I spent 3 rewarding years as a member of the Student Senate - and my Senior year representing the Student Body as Secretary - working to improve the campus for all students.

I was awarded the President's Core Values Medallion at Graduation - the highest award given to a select group of graduates that represent the Core Values of RWU.

I conducted research for an industry project designed to help Timespan - a small heritage museum in the highlands - improve their in-house customer experience.
