outline my professional goals. As Career Development Chair, I am striving to inform and provide opportunities to the SfW community, so every woman can outline and achieve their own career goals. Outside of my work with Schreyer for Women, I love to spend time with my friends, read, hike, listen to music, and travel to new places!
