I connect passionate people with each other and to opportunities that impact and advance the MSU mission. My focus is to orchestrate experiences and partnerships for Spartans to CONNECT, SERVE, and INVEST in Michigan State University. I work with individuals to support society-changing research, students, and alumni in ways that are most meaningful to them and in alignment with the cause. 

I identify dedicated volunteers and foster relationships with donors that lead to financial support for the university. I develop intentional opportunities and coordinate with internal and external partners to link East Lansing to the western states of the US.
