My favorite GVSU memory is walking into my first GVSU career fair in downtown Grand Rapids and seeing all of the companies with booths. This sight was exciting and nerve-racking at the same time.

As a transfer student from Grand Rapids Community College and a commuter, I was so proud to have been elected to lead as the President of GVSU's chapter of Public Relations Student Society of America (PRSSA).

I was lucky enough to snag a reporting internship my first semester at the University's public radio station. I continued to work there until I graduated, covering stories all over the area.
