Biography

I am a lifelong Michigander with a strong commitment to education and community engagement. In 2022, I graduated from Eastern Michigan University with a BBA in Business Management and a minor in music performance, and in 2024 I obtained a graduate certificate of Sustainability and Social Impact from the University of Colorado – Boulder. My career has taken me on a path of purpose, including roles such as a Corporate Giving Intern at General Motors, a Volunteer Engagement and Giving Intern with Rocket Community Fund, and a Community Student Assistant at Engage@EMU. I also sit on the Advisory Council for the United Nations Regional Center of Expertise Detroit-Windsor.

Outside of work, one of my proudest achievements to date is co-founding the Gender Consciousness Project, a grassroots organization dedicated to empowering young women in Southeast Michigan.
