“My passion for working at the NDSU Foundation is inspired by the people. It is the passionate, philanthropic individuals who see the potential in the students and the world-changing work happening at NDSU who inspire me. Higher education provides students with endless opportunities and a growth mindset. I am incredibly grateful to be a conduit between the two. Go Bison!”
