What’s your educational background?

I received my bachelor's degree in Accounting in 2024, as well as my Master of Business Administration in 2026, both from PNW!  

Professional interests:

As a graduate recruiter, my primary goal is to help students find the right graduate degree to help them succeed in both their personal and professional goals. Advancing your degree will only open up more doors for you, so you may as well do it! 

What would people be surprised to know about you?

I LOVE to run. Running is great for both your physical and mental health.  

What do you love about PNW?

The number one thing I love about PNW is the people you get to surround yourself with. Campus feels like one big family, and you get to meet so many people from all over the U.S. and the world while still getting the benefits of a smaller school and one-on-one interaction with faculty. I also love the number of opportunities presented to you throughout your time here.  

Best college search tip:

See what opportunities are available at the schools you are considering, from research labs to clubs. If possible, make sure to take a tour of the campus and speak with faculty, staff and current students to get a better idea of what campus life is really like.
