Meet the Team
PUDM is the largest philanthropic organization on campus, and it is filled with hundreds of students who want to make a difference for the kids at Riley Hospital for Children.
The organizational structure of PUDM is broken down into four different focuses. Each focus controls certain aspects of PUDM including- internal affairs, external relations, finances and membership. The Presidential Board, which is comprised of our dedicated leaders who help coach, teach and motivate everyone involved in PUDM and oversee the focuses. Finally, each focus is broken down into committees who have certain jobs to ensure PUDM is as successful as it can be. Meet the leaders of our 11 hardworking committees.

Previous PUDM Involvement: 2019 Morale Champ, 2020 Morale Membership Management Chair, 2021 Morale Executive
Why did you want to be an executive? I joined PUDM as a freshman on the Morale committee, and immediately fell in love with every aspect of the organization. Having the opportunity to become educated on our impact on Riley and how they bring hope to their families has encouraged me to continue pursuing leadership roles in this organization where I can welcome new members into our community, build meaningful relationships with my peers, and continue spreading the spirit of PUDM around campus. My ultimate goal when becoming an executive was to encourage other members to find their spark within PUDM and use it to inspire those around them. There’s no limit to the impact we can make on future generations with the effort we pour into this cause, and my hope is that as an executive, I’m able to support those around me in finding how they want to build a legacy in PUDM and bring hope to our Riley kids!
What are your main duties in your position? This year, I’ll be guiding the organization by collaborating with my four VPs to oversee and support our Executive Board to broaden our impact on the campus community, create a meaningful experience for all of our members, and deepen our relationship with Riley Hospital for Children. I have the opportunity to work closely with our Presidential Board, Executive Board, and Chamber in weekly meetings to create plans for how we want to represent our organization on campus and educate our members on the ways in which they can support Riley. Additionally, I work with our Riley Dance Marathon advisor, university advisor, and CMN advisor who support our program through the year and offer guidance on best practices for expanding our campus-wide and state-wide impact.
What is your favorite PUDM memory? My favorite PUDM memory would be performing the premiere of our Morale Dance at PUDM 2021! I remember turning to my side after announcing the dance and seeing my fellow Moralers run up on stage to join me, which felt like it was happening in slow-motion. The entire event was so exciting and inspiring, and having the opportunity to dance with all of my best friends on stage is something I’ll never forget!

Previous PUDM Involvement: I joined Riley Relations my first marathon back in 2019 as a committee member. Then I was a conductor on Riley Relations for PUDM 2020. This past year, I served as the Riley Relations Programming Chair.
Why did you want to be an executive?
I joined Purdue University Dance Marathon because I am so passionate about this cause. As a future nurse, I want to do all I can to give back to families facing adversity. Riley Hospital for Children does so much for kids and families from all over and is making strides against changing kids’ health around the world. Every thing we do in PUDM truly makes a difference. I am continuously inspired by what this organization can do, and want to continue our legacy.
What are your main duties in your position?
As VP Internal, my main duties revolve around the planning the marathon. I work with my executives to plan and execute special events throughout the year, support member engagement through morale, support and stay cause connected with our families at all times, and assist in planning all aspects of our marathon. I work with a family-focused mindset to deliver a year-round experience that is best for our members, community, and Riley families.
What is your favorite PUDM memory?
Two of my favorite PUDM memories are the bowling event with the Riley families and our return to the in-person marathon this past year. Our bowling event was truly amazing because looking around, you were able to see the families smiling and laughing as well as forming relationships with our members. The marathon was also such a special experience because after having a virtual marathon, it was so fulfilling to be able to hear our Riley family stories again and see them supported throughout the whole 18 hours. One specific memory that made me so happy was seeing one of our Riley kids receive a headband for raising over $2500 this year! It is just a reminder of the impact these kids continue to make and how they can give back to Riley.
