Favorite thing about coming back: Feeling the community’s
excitement for the UA. At the grocery store, a bus stop, Beyond
Bread, La Encantada — you see people from all walks of life
supporting the UA.
A UA memory: I worked with Leslie Eldenburg on a program
that brought underprivileged high school students to the UA for a
week. It was a great experience showing them the opportunities
they would have as a UA student.
From Fortune 500 to startup: I left a Fortune 500 company
for a small, venture-backed startup. I wanted to be closer to
decision-makers and help drive an organization forward. It was
certainly a big risk, but it’s all been worth it.
Without the UA: I wouldn’t have been recruited by a consulting
firm for an internship right after college. That was my first foray
in a working environment and the foundation for my career
today.
