Hi everyone!

I look forward to helping students create competitive application materials, develop their personal brand, and achieve career goals. The Knowlton Center and career coach David Snider helped me secure my dream internship in Edelman PR agency’s corporate health practice. I am excited to pay their generosity forward and assist students in finding their next opportunity.

Over the past three and a half years at Denison, I have worked in business development, healthcare consulting, strategic partnerships, marketing, and PR for clients like MD Anderson Cancer Center, Amgen Pharmaceuticals, and CVS Well Market. The Global Health program has given the foundational knowledge of health equity necessary to prioritize inclusion and mutual benefit between healthcare companies and customers. I now work as a strategy and marketing associate for Waterston Capital VC, supporting the team in building businesses around novel biotechnology inventions- my favorite job yet. 

My motto as a career fellow is: don’t wait until you’re ready! Perfectionism and self-limiting beliefs frequently try to stop me from pursuing what I want. Before you feel ready, visit Knowlton. Take the leap, and the rest will fall into place.
