My first on-campus job was working as a student assistant in the College of Education and Human Development External Relations office.
​
As my journey through college continued, I began to take on more responsibilities in the office and eventually held a number of contract positions post graduation.
​
I credit much of my planning expertise and my high-attention to detail to my time spent in this office learning from others and executing various events.
