One Gift You Bring to MDI: I enjoy looking at the bigger picture of projects and trying to see how I can effectively translate those concepts into each of the many pieces that make up MDI.
Why MDI?
I am a part of the leadership team for MDI because I am passionate about the mission of MDI. I strongly believe that the Church needs young leaders who are willing to make a difference in their community. MDI helps foster this.
Why Marian University?
I chose Marian University because of the Catholic identity of the institution. I wanted a school that would both support and challenge me in my faith. I was also attracted to the hands-on approach of the Byrum School of Business.

One of my favorite pastimes is backpacking and hiking. I love separating myself from the hustle and bustle of daily life and finding some peace out in nature. I have hiked and camped in about ten different states including Alaska.
