What is your current profession?

Currently just made the move to the other side of the world to do my MBA in Digital Marketing Strategy at EMLV in Paris, France.

What lessons did you learn as an athlete that have served you well in your professional career?

As I'm currently working in marketing, many if not all of my projects are collaborative and I think my ability to work well in a team and play off of individual strengths is rooted back to my athletic career.

If you could share one message or memory with current Titans what would it be?

You don't need to know exactly what you want to do right now. I changed my mind probably about 5 different times and started down a few different career paths and it took me a few years to get to a place that I'm really excited about pursuing. It seems like there can be a lot of pressure to know right away exactly what you want to do with the rest of your life but that's tough. Working in Digital Marketing, many of the aspects of my job didn't exist or were just emerging when I graduated high school so how the heck would I have known that's what I wanted to do? Sometimes you need to try out a few different things to realize what lights a spark and that's totally okay!!

Your favourite memory as a Titan?

Winning volleyball provincials in 2009. Our team had so much fun together our success was really the cherry on top of such a fun and rewarding year!
