Why did you join the Alumni Board of Directors?
I was so excited to join the Alumni Board of Directors because of the great work that the board is doing. Community is a really important part of life and through my experiences with SNHU, the alumni community is very special. As a student and now alumni, I had many opportunities to work on my own personal and professional growth and participate in meaningful events and work. I cannot wait to connect with alumni and help build community as well as continue to volunteer during Global Days of Service. I have gained so much as a student and am excited to give back in this way. Yay Penmen!

What's your favorite SNHU experience as an alumnus?
I would have to say Homecoming Weekend as a whole. While attending SNHU I developed an incredible circle of friends. We still try and get together as a group as much as we can. Homecoming Weekend brings us back to our roots and our old stomping grounds. We love getting back to campus to see how things have grown and maybe catch up with people we may not normally see. It is something that I look forward to every year.

Current Organization & Position: BLE Training, Founder & Chief Learning Officer
I have chosen to join the Alumni Board of Directors because I want to dedicate my time and energy to institutions that have positively impacted my life. It's similar to Warren Buffett's advice about investing in companies whose products you understand and use. SNHU has played a significant role in my personal and professional development, providing valuable education and learning opportunities. Much like Buffett's philosophy suggests that having firsthand experience with a company's products gives investors unique insights, my experience on the board will allow me to give back and deepen my understanding of the university's values and potential. By serving on the Alumni Board, I am not just giving back but investing in an institution I believe in. This role enables me to leverage my unique perspective as a former student to help SNHU grow and better serve current and future students, much like an informed investor might help guide a company they believe in.
