Hailing from a small town in rural Michigan, I have been lucky enough to connect with people from all over the world, and see some pretty amazing things along the way. I'm a professional in higher education, but I have many interests and passions in addition to education and learning! I love history, art, design, marketing, data, research, and of course, food. My long-term goals are perhaps not as rigid as others, because I like to take life one day at a time, and be open to changes and unique opportunities as they arise. However, I know I want to continue to grow, travel, and learn as a professional. I identify as a life-long learner, and I welcome challenges that will allow me to be critical, analytical, and present solutions in a meaningful way.
