Favorite piece of advice?
Be involved in everything that interests you and go to every event you can because you will make time for it all. These are great experiences for the future and fun memories that you will never forget.
How did you get where you are today?
It was a combination of hard work for everything I was involved in while never forgetting to have fun!
Best thing to include in a cover letter/ resume?
Go to a barn dance :)
Best college/ AAF memory?
Going to iHelp senior year and helping out the local community. You often get sucked into the U of I bubble and forget that it's still important to make time for others and volunteer.
Favorite ad campaign?
I've always loved campaigns that involve humor, so one of my favorite commercials in particular is the Payton Manning MasterCard commercial from their Priceless campaign.
Best thing to do in college?
Enjoy every moment at college because it goes by in a flash.

Play hard. Work harder.
