Bio:
In the true fashion of an obsessive compulsive insanely organized overachiever, I am over-scheduled and over-involved but I wouldn't have it any other way. My favorite classes at DePauw have been in the Communication, English and Art History departments, and I've enjoyed every second of my college experience. I've been very fortunate to have worked with a wide variety of internships and organizations and I've found my love and passion in sales and event planning. I love to travel with some of my favorite international trips being to Israel, Ghana and St. Kitt's. :-)

Why did you choose to be a part of the Orr Fellowship?
I first learned of the Fellowship thanks to a campus-wide email from Kate at DePauw and I was thrilled. From the first email I knew it was going to be an incredible opportunity to be a part of as well as a great fit for my goals and personality. I wanted an opportunity that focused on relationships and networking, and I'm from Indiana so staying in Indianapolis was also a great option. Every Fellow I've had the pleasure of meeting and getting to know has nothing but incredible things to say about their experience with the Fellowship and I could not be more excited to start on this new adventure in my life!

What are your long-term career ambitions?
I am not exactly sure what the future holds for me. My goal is to be successful, happy, and to follow my passions.

Just the facts:
I love Spanish tapas, Greek food, Mediterranean food, Italian food, sushi, Cantonese food, Thai food, Japanese food, Brazilian food .... and a stiff gin and tonic with a slice of orange. I'm a bit of a daredevil and I love to try new things. I block out 9:00pm each Thursday to watch The Office and this summer I'll be attending my 7th John Mayer concert (fingers crossed he's coming back to Indy). Recent development: I'm getting married May 2012 :-) My fiance flies hot air balloons (crazy hobby) so if you're ever interested, let me know!
