How did your degree prepare you for your current position?
My degree gave me a foundation of principles and practices that helped me not go into my career blind. It helped me find my passion and began the building blocks of future development.
Were you involved with student organizations while at K-State?
Yes, I was the President of the K-State Society for Human Resource Management Chapter and a College of Business Administration Ambassador. My involvement really helped build my network with other students and business professionals while in college.
What memories from your time at K-State would you like to share?
One of my favorite K-State memories was going to the SHRM games in Fort Hays with our SHRM chapter. It was so fun getting to show off our HR knowledge and getting to network with other HR students from around the state.
What are your future goals?
To take on a leadership role and assist in the growth and development of others while continuing to develop myself.
What advice do you have for current or prospective HR students?
If there is a company you really want to work at, see if there is a K-State Alumni who works there and make that connection!
