A wonderful journey of exploring and finding your path.

I love to think, learn, and solve problems.

What’s your favorite part or most memorable experience of serving on the Board of Alumni?

Getting back to our wonderful campus, connecting with students and my fellow Board of Alumni members. Plus, doing the Hood To Coast relay with L&C alums was super fun!

How do you encourage other alumni to give back to the college?

Get involved! Join your local Alumni Chapter, attend local L&C sponsored events in your area, come back to campus for Alumni Weekend or Homecoming, and of course, please give financially.
