Milestones

My road in life took a while to figure out.
I landed an internship at the Tempe Convention & Visitors Bureau.
After graduation, I started working at the Tempe Chamber of Commerce.
In addition to the 8-5, I volunteered to assist at all of our events before and after hours.
I was promoted within Tempe Chamber and ended up working there for 12 years.
I built my network within the business community and discovered my passion for ASU.
When I was ready to make a move, I knew I wanted to be at Arizona State University.
