"As a first-generation college graduate, my personal experience with higher education helped form and shape my future and who I am today. At the NDSU Foundation, I am encouraged and inspired to put my work and talent toward something life changing. I have seen firsthand how philanthropy impacts students' futures, and I am excited to help amplify inspiring stories about the NDSU community through engaging visuals and content."
