Q: What year did you begin working at your company?
A: 2022
Q: What year did you become a Chamber Ambassador?
A: 2026
Q: What motivated you to become a Chamber Ambassador?
A: My employer asked me to be a part of the Saginaw County Leadership Class. After the welcome weekend retreat, I knew I wanted to be a part of the Saginaw Chamber.
Q: What’s a small moment as an Ambassador that made you feel proud to be involved?
A: A proud moment for me being a part of the Saginaw Chamber was seeing the turnout for Community Impact Day. Over 200 volunteers came together to support Saginaw nonprofits. It was a great feeling to be a part of it.
Q: What’s a piece of advice you’ve received that has stuck with you, personally or professionally?
A: Keep Moving Forward. My favorite quote that has stuck with me for years.
Q: If someone is attending their first Chamber event, what’s one thing you hope they take away from the experience?
A: For someone attending their first Chamber event, I’d imagine they’d take away how diverse the members are. You can connect with a wide range of people. From local bakeries to community banks!
Q: If someone wanted to start a conversation with you at a Chamber event, what’s an easy topic to bring up?
A: Easy topic to talk about would be any local event. We have so many sporting events, concerts and plays happening, it is easy to find someone that enjoys the entertainment options Saginaw has offer.
Q: What role has the Chamber played in your personal or professional growth?
A: I was fortunate to be a part of the Saginaw County Leadership Class of 2026. It was an experience I will never forget. You learn so much about our history and culture. I made friendships that will last a lifetime.
Q: What’s one skill or area of expertise people are often surprised to learn you have?
A: A skill I am never shy to share is my puzzling skills. I can knock out an 1,000 piece puzzle in a couple hours.
Q: What’s something you’re currently learning or would like to learn next?
A: I am currently searching for more volunteer opportunities with our youth. Helping Saginaw children succeed is important to me. I hope to get more involved with any local programs that support out youth.
Q: What's one thing you always have at your desk?
A: An iced Chai
Q: If your job had a theme song, what would it be?
