Candidate Statements for the Advancement Division
I'm a U of A alum (B.S.B.A., M.B.A.) originally from Wichita, Kansas. I started with the University shortly after graduation with the Arkansas Alumni Association, of which I was a student volunteer for most of my undergraduate career.
I am now serving as Project Manager for Advancement Partnerships and Strategy, and I support Advancement functions like engagement, data management, corporate and foundation relations, planned giving, and other Advancement services.
I love that I can build relationships with other senators across campus and use those connections to further the University's mission.
I am motivated by making a difference, and connecting with and supporting my campus community makes me feel like I am making a difference.
