Class of 2017

I am originally from Morenci, a small town in southwest Michigan. I was a walk-on for the University of Michigan football team and earned an athletic scholarship, while completing a B.A. in Sociology. I went on to complete a M.A. in Sport Business Management and then was hired into a senior level hybrid position working in sales and marketing at FOX Sports Detroit. Once in the business world, I realized in order to go further I needed to develop myself both intellectually and spiritually. I applied to the Stephen M. Ross school of business to increase my business acumen with a focus on General Management and Strategy. My goals are to work towards becoming a CEO and influential leader in the media & entertainment industry. I like the idea of mentoring and I consider this a real compliment to help mentor young students as an ambassador.
