I was a member of the National Society of Collegiate Scholars, while also serving as the youngest appointed member of the Tutor/Mentor program at the University of Saint Thomas all four years of my attendance. (2002-2006)

I currently serve on the boards of two non-profit organizations, and have for at least 3 years now: OC Ministries and World Beat Connection.

I studied abroad three times during college: two January-terms in Berlin, Germany and also the Fall Semester 2005 for the London Business Semester.

Prior to, and during, college I was the general manager at Glorious Beans Cafe in the first five years the Albertville Outlet Mall was open. I received this position at the age of 16 and maintained my commitment to this role until I was 21 years of age.

Throughout college I worked part time as a Quality Control laboratory assistant for a global industrial fabrication manufacturer, which taught me to have an acute attention to detail.

After college I was awarded a paid internship at Augeo Affinity Marketing, where I contributed new project management processes to my senior marketing leadership, as well as detailed data entry.
