Hometown: Minnetonka, Minnesota
College: I graduated from Indiana University with a Bachelors of Art in Journalism, a Liberal Arts and Management Certificate, and minor in Business. The Liberal Arts and Management program, or LAMP, is a highly competitive, honors interdisciplinary program that provides students with both the critical thinking skills developed through the study of liberal arts and the practical expertise acquired through the study of business by incorporating coursework from both the College of Arts and Sciences and the Kelley School of Business.
About Me: I am from the great northern state of Minnesota. I was fortunate enough to spend my childhood swimming, boating, ice skating and snowmobiling on Lake Minnetonka with my incredible family and friends. From an early age, my parents instilled in me the importance of giving back. In high school, I went on multiple mission trips to Nuestros Pequeños Hermanos, an orphanage in the Dominican Republic; In college, I was named the Director of Philanthropy for my sorority, Alpha Phi; and currently, I volunteer in the NICU at UNC Medical Center. I am naturally inclined to take advantage of any opportunity to combine my passion for working with children with my avidity for giving back to the community. My career at Cisco began with the Early in University Sales Internship during the summer of 2015. After my team and I won the sales competition at the end of that summer, I knew I did not want my journey at Cisco to end. I was fortunate enough to get an offer for an internship working under Stacy Krauss in Sales Strategy and Planning during the school year as a Junior in college, but I was excited to get back into sales the following summer in the World-Wide Sales Internship in San Jose, CA. Cisco’s team culture is one of the many reasons I’ve continued coming back to this organization since I was 19 years old, and I am excited to see what the future has in store for me here!
