Q: Tell us a little about yourself! (Education, Where You’re From & How You to Got to CO, Interests, Hobbies, whatever!)
A: I was born and raised in Broomfield, Colorado as one of the few Coloradans. I received a Bachelor's in Communications from the University of Colorado Denver and am currently pursuing a Master's of Public Administration from the University of Colorado Colorado Springs. For the past five years, I have worked as a Communications & Marketing Assistant at CU System Employee Services. I have just recently joined Venture Partners November 2021. I love weightlifting, playing video games, completing jigsaw puzzles and cuddling with my two cats, Elvis and Sabrina!
Q: What is your role at Venture Partners? Tell us more about what you do.
A: I am the Senior Marketing & Communications Specialist for the team. I work closely with everyone to help promote the services, events and resources offered by Venture Partners to current ventures, researchers, faculty members, investors and more. The main goal in my day-to-day work is to raise awareness of Venture Partners in the best way possible.
Q: What is your favorite part about your job and what do you like most about working on the Venture Partners team?
A: The best part of working at Venture Partners has been learning about all of the new inventions and ventures that have sprung out of CU Boulder! We have the opportunity to see life-changing inventions start from a small idea into a full-fledged company. I have also truly enjoyed meeting and working with everyone since I have started! The Venture Partners team has been so welcoming and helpful as I began my new position, and I feel supported in any circumstance.
Q: When you aren’t at work, where will we find you?
A: You can always find me working out in some fashion. I love weightlifting, running and riding my bike on the local trails. I also love to be in the kitchen and experiment with new recipes.
Q: What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received?
A: This is a really simple one: Never give up. Growing up, my parents have always told me to never give up, no matter what you are doing.
