I want to work as a pediatric nurse in the NICU or CVICU when I graduate so the mission of PUDM means so much to me!! I’m very passionate about supporting the kiddos in the hospital who deserve to be kids. This is my 7th year fundraising for Riley Hospital for Children, and I wanted to be more involved for my last year in PUDM. I wanted to be on exec to have a greater impact in spreading the mission to change kids’ health, grow my leadership skills, and to dedicate my time to help plan the marathon that so many Riley kids look forward to and so many Purdue students are impacted by!
What is your previous PUDM involvement?
I first joined PUDM as a morale committee member (#OMAM)! I also became the team captain for my sorority Delta Gamma. My second year I was the participant experience chair and now I’m the participant relations executive!
What is your favorite PUDM memory?
Bucket Blitz & DOM 2024
What is a fun fact about you?
I hold the 3rd grade school record for rocket math
Whats your biggest dream? (Career goal, travel, bucket list, impact on the world, etc.)
My dream is to become a pediatric nurse and to spend many years caring for newborns, kids, and their families. I also dream of traveling the world to see so many beautiful creations, new cultures, and hear many people’s life stories. I also dream of being a mom one day!
What are your main duties as an exec?
My role is to be the communication between PUDM and our lovely participants!! Our participants are the lowest level of involvement in PUDM in that they only have to commit to coming to the marathon on November 14th! As the participant relations exec, I spend my time working with team captains to recruit participants, sharing PUDM with student clubs to get them involved, and finding creative ways to make our participants feel so valued and loved by our organization!
