I am 23-years-old, and originally from Bridgman, MI, which is in the southwest corner, right on the beaches of Lake Michigan! It was a great place to grow up, but very, very small!

(I graduated with a class of 86!) In the fall of 2001, after graduating, I moved to Allendale to attend Grand Valley State University, where I majored in Public Relations. While at Grand Valley I participated in several student organizations including PRSSA.

I also work as a point-of-sales supervisor at Kohls Department Store in Grandville, and am currently interning in the marketing department at Kregel Publications.

In the future I hope to remain in the Grand Rapids area, but will relocate to whatever area I find a permanent job in! I am officially done with school on June 23rd of this year, and I'm looking forward to getting out of school and getting into the "real world."
