Creative Director & Professor
Love Hard. Stay Soft.
Volunteer
Trevor Project
I have published two poetry books — both of which I have donated all proceeds to The Trevor Project, an American nonprofit organization founded in 1998 focused on suicide prevention efforts among lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and questioning youth.
Go Teal
Beginning as a grass-roots campaign to spread awareness on Sexual Violence, my friends and I created a movement called Go Teal, which emphasizes the importance of sexual assault awareness, prevention, and response. Teal is the nationally recognized color for sexual assault awareness. Our name was a spin-off of MSU's famous, "Go Green, Go White!" cheer. As the movement began to gain momentum, we were mentioned in numerous media headlines and press releases including The Current, ComArtSci, The State News, WXYZ, MSU Today, WLNS 6, RHS, and The Spartan Newsroom.
Lansing Parks & Recreation
Since 2019, I have been volunteering as a Head Coach for Lansing's Park and Recreation Sports Leagues (soccer, basketball, and t-ball). Coaching K-5, I always made it a priority to teach my little humans compassion, sportsmanship, and integrity.
American Advertising Association
Since 2018, I have served in some capacity for the American Advertising Federation. From Vice President of the Mid-Michigan Creative Alliance to the Lt. Governor of District 06, I am responsible for coordinating and planning the American Advertising Awards every year and making sure our delegated clubs have what they need to succeed in the ad space.
Haven House
Haven House is a non-profit that provides emergency housing and support services for one-parent and two-parent families with children. In 2018 & 2019, I volunteered in the Playroom, working with children a few times a week and keeping them company.
