Hello all! Welcome to my first ever blog.

Since I’m writing to an unknown audience (that I hope exists), I thought I’d start by sharing a little bit about myself. This isn’t to say that I’m the most self-interested person in the world, but I hope knowing me will give some context to all that I’ll share over the course of my internship. Hopefully, some of you readers will identify with some of the stuff I say, share, or experience!

For starters, I grew up for the most part in Grand Rapids, Michigan. I got my undergrad degree from the University of Michigan, which I still love and follow passionately. My undergrad degree was in Secondary Math Education, but I quickly learned that teaching in the classroom just wasn’t for me. After a year of teaching middle schoolers in Holland, MI, and doing some tutoring and a number of odd jobs for the next year, I decided to get my MBA. When I started undergrad, I never would have guessed that I would want to go into business, but I learned a lot about myself while teaching, and I finally listened to what my parents and other mentors were telling me.

Soon after, I was packing my bags and driving 1,600 or so miles south to Waco, Texas, to get my MBA at Baylor University. It’s been just over a year since I made that trip south, and while I still love my friends and the community I grew up in, Texas has been treating me well. I’ve really enjoyed my time at Baylor, and I feel like I’ve accomplished a lot with my friends there. For example:

Bonobos CFO Brian Wolfe

We went to New York City for a week in October, which was a lot of fun but we also heard from some great business leaders and we shared some really cool experiences (like meeting with Bonobos CFO, Brian Wolfe!).

Baylor MBA’s at Coca Cola’s HQ

We worked on several projects for Coca-Cola as part of our Focus Firm class, and I got to go present at the Coke headquarters in Atlanta!

Crawfish!

Aaaaaaannnd, we had a crawfish boil to celebrate the end of the school year. This is the most Southern thing I’ve done.

Obviously, there’s plenty more I could say, but this blog is supposed to be about my internship, so I’ll call it good for now. I’m looking forward to sharing more when I take on my internship in Houston this summer at Charles River Associates! Look for a couple more posts coming soon.
