• Why did you want to become a director for the largest student-run philanthropy in the world?  THON played a significant role in shaping the first three years of my college career. I will always be grateful to this organization for the people I have met and memories I have made as a volunteer. I hope to continue to make THON a place where volunteers are excited and passionate about the work they do in their specific roles.

• What are your main responsibilities as a Director for THON™ 2026?  As the Development Director I oversee a team of 16 Development Captains focused on different areas of the donor experience including acquisition, retention, and engagement. My other responsibilities range from managing THON’s relationships with corporate and foundation partners to focusing on the retention of our growing donor base year over year. 

• What is your favorite THON memory? My favorite THON memory is from Dancers Stand during THON 2023. This was my first time attending THON, and I was fortunate enough to be on the floor. Being able to feel the energy and passion of the THON Community in the BJC was an unforgettable experience. 

• What is your favorite quote?   “Do well. And do good.”

• What are you involved in outside of being a THON™ Director?  Supply Chain Management Association

• What are your plans after graduation from Penn State?  I hope to find a job I enjoy in an area that is exciting to live in for a recent graduate.
