Major: Strategic Political Communication

Hometown: Bellevue, Nebraska

Favorite Drake memory: The week leading up to the 2020 Iowa Caucus. I got to attend so many rallies and events, plus I got to see CNN cancel the Iowa Poll live and in-person.

One tip for Drake freshmen: Allow yourself to be flexible. I thought working on a campaign during school was crazy, but I made it work. If there is an opportunity you want, go and take it. It also doesn’t hurt to ask for help!

Plans after graduation: Working for the Republican Party of Iowa doing a mix of digital and communications work.

Anything else we should share about you: Working for the Governors campaign in 2018 was the best time of my life. While I rarely slept, it taught me how to work hard and be (very) organized.
