I am involved in the Travel and Tourism Club on campus. Also my experience managing events at Canyon Lake Resort in Rapid City.

I am the Vice-President of the Travel and Tourism Club and involved in College Republicans.

In what way do you feel BHSU has best prepared you for your future career?
I believe BHSU has best prepared me for my future career by the internships that are offered and the small atmosphere that has allowed me to network not only with my professors and other students, but also with community leaders through classes and activities at BHSU.

Where do you see your career in 10 years?
Working at a high-end event facility and planning weddings.
