Tell us about what you've been doing since graduation.
I am now the Directer of User Experience at a tech agency in Bloomfield Hills. Back in 2015, I graduated from OU with specializations in Computer Science and Communications. I spent the entire month of October backpacking through Europe! Traveling through 9 countries solo is one of the most exhilarating things I've ever done.

Tell us about your family and/or hobbies: My family consists of me and my cat, Zanzibar. Most of my spare time is spent snowboarding or investing in the revitalization of Northwest Detroit.

How did your years at Lamphere affect your life?
Lamphere taught me if I wanted to be successful I needed to be self-motivated. You need to do the work to reap the rewards.

If you had a message for current Lamphere students what would it be?
Do as many internships as you can. It is the best way to acquire hands-on experience and see if you actually like the field you are going into.
