Education
What I’ve Learned
September 2013 - May 2017
Michigan State University
I graduated with a Bachelors of Science in Interdisciplinary Studies with a Health Promotions minor. I took courses from Anatomy and Biology to Psychology and Social Sciences. With my education, I have learned how to understand the human experience on different levels and work to help others be their best self.
This is how I do it.
Promoting Health
I created a space for employees to take a moment out of their busy days, close their eyes, and practice mindfulness. This was backed by a Mindfulness Campaign encouraging employees to meditate, get seven hours of sleep a night and take short walks during the workday. Sit down, be mindful.
Office Fun
May the 4th be with you! I am constantly working to find new and fun ideas to keep employees excited to come to the office each and every day. Here we celebrated Star Wars Day with a movie marathon and themed snacks. The 7-Leia-Dip was a hit.
Company Wide Events
I have a passion for planning! I am in charge of all corporate events. A few successful examples are annual minor league baseball games, holiday parties, company picnics, monthly lunch scrums, annual staff meetings and more. I work with vendors coordinating timelines, menus and catering, band needs, decorations, ice breakers and everything in between.
