Favorite memory of being the Alumni GA: "My favorite part of being a graduate assistant was the opportunity to have an impact on students and Alumni. Starting Mustang Traditions dorm was a great opportunity for the Alumni Association to have an impact on students and ensure that they were having the best college experience possible. Creating STAT allowed us to maintain those relationships even when students moved off campus. I didn't know it then, but being a GA prepared me for my entire career!"
Currently: "I've been working with SMSU ever since! After graduating with my Master's degree, I spent two years working as an admissions counselor and then moved into the Director of Alumni Relations role I hold today."
