Why did you choose to be a part of the Orr Fellowship?
Initially, I was drawn to the mission of The Fellowship and knew it would provide a great opportunity to be a part of a community with other high-achieving, young professionals. I joined the Orr Fellowship because I saw how it provided a valuable peer and professional network to learn from entrepreneurs about high growth businesses. I envision being part of this fellowship as the next step in my journey in becoming a future business leader in Indiana. I hope to learn about how businesses are created, managed, and developed in addition to growing in knowledge and experiences.
What are your long-term career ambitions?
Personally, I would love to see my photography business grow while developing my skills, services, and products. At the same time, I long to work my way up in a company that I am passionate about, and I hope that each lesson and interaction prepares me for the future. My experiences have shown me that there are so many different career interests that I have including marketing, communications, public relations, sales, design, and community relations. One day, I would love to start another business, work for an NFL team, and work in higher education as an adjunct professor. I hope that wherever I am working that I am whole-heartedly serving the mission of my company and serving my community.

Just the facts:
I enjoy being outdoors and participating in group fitness classes like kickboxing and boot camp. I love: the Colts and the Bulldogs; baking; catch phrase; and spending time at the lake (and it’s a goal of mine to own a lake house in the near future). Not a day goes by that I don’t make a “to-do list.”
