I served as the Treasurer for Campus Outreach. In this role, I was able to secure funding for philanthropic efforts and organize many events to benefit new students.

Did you have any trials that you had to overcome while you were at Embry-Riddle?

Initially, it was difficult to make friends and I was quite homesick. But with time and a proactive mindset, I made friends for life and became a fuller version of myself.

Embry-Riddle has a unique industry focus that is leveraged on a daily basis in my current role.

How has being an Embry-Riddle graduate impacted you since graduation?

Being an Embry-Riddle graduate is a source of pride for me. It is fun to meet fellow alumni at my workplace and share that common bond.
