Traded one passion for another which led me to leave Michigan State University to become the Higher Education Evangelist at LinkedIn. Did it again, moving from LinkedIn to become the Network Catalyst then VP of Network and then Evangelist for Techstars. In 2024, joined Whop as VP Story to make sustainable income available to everyone via the Internet. I have a thing for cool job titles. I also believe "changing the world" can be more than hyperbole. Building relationships and connecting people with opportunity are at my core. I rely heavily on online and offline networks to facilitate each. I am young, smart and global at heart, MSU by passion and driven by nature.
