What career or personal update would you like to give to your fellow Florida Tech Panthers alumni?

After a decade working in Oceanography and Water Resources, I shifted to my current career path of Corporate Sustainability. I currently help companies operate in a more environmentally friendly way. This ype of work allows me to protect the ocean and other beautiful natural spaces that I love by working with businesses that can drive big changes in our current system of doing things. I am currently focused on working within the Circular Economy. By helping businesses transform to a circular economy, there is an opportunity to design out waste and pollution, keep products and materials in use, and protect or regenerate natural systems.

What is your favorite Florida Tech memory?

My favorite memories of Florida Tech always include the beautiful natural surroundings, such as crew practice or oceanographic research projects in the Indian River Lagoon, was through the botanical gardens, or time spent at the beach.
