Year you graduated from K-State: 2002

Major/Minor(s): Agricultural Economics/Leadership Studies

What you are up to now (school, work, etc)? I just finished my PhD at Virginia Tech last May and currently I'm working at the American Farm Bureau Federation as their Director of Training and Development.

Where do you live? Washington, DC

Favorite memory from the School of Leadership Studies? Having class in the "leadership house". It was such a unique and cozy setting to have class in a "living room".

What you are looking forward to the most from this organization? My response is two-fold. First, I am looking forward to connecting with K-Staters and the program that meant so much to me as a student. Second, I want to keep on top of what's happening in leadership education and stay connected to higher education.

What expectations do you have in regards to the alumni advisory committee (AAC)? My expectations are to connect with other alumni and have a chance to bring an outside perspective to the programs at the School of Leadership Studies.
