• Why did you want to become a director for the largest student-run philanthropy in the world? I wanted to become a director to be able to positively impact the lives of our families and volunteers. THON is a home for so many, including myself, and I hope to help continue providing for our families so they can focus on supporting their child without having to worry about the direct and indirect costs of treatment.

• What are your main responsibilities as a Director for THON™ 2027? 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? Dancing for my organization and being on stage with our THON Families at THON Weekend 2025.

• What is your favorite quote? “Whatever life gives you, give more back.”

• What are your plans after graduation from Penn State? Begin my career at a public accounting firm and pass my CPA exams!
