Hometown: Hopkins, MN
- Why did you choose to intern for Olympic Steel?
I chose Olympic Steel because I heard how incredible the internship program was. I also know that Olympic Steel’s main goal is to be safe and to truly honor that goal. That is very important to me as I continue to grow in my field.
- What do you hope to accomplish during your time here at Olympic Steel?
I hope to learn about how Olympic Steel approaches safety and to be able to walk away with a better understanding of Human and Organizational Performance (HOP). Ultimately, my end goal is to leave a meaningful impact on the company, its employees, and leaders.
- What do you like to do in your free time?
I play hockey and video games on my Switch, read, craft when I can, and hang out with family and friends. I also love to go on walks with my dogs and am currently training for a 5-mile run coming up in July.
- What is your proudest moment so far?
My proudest accomplishment is playing for Team USA for hockey. As a hard-of-hearing/deaf individual, I was given the opportunity to play for Team USA, the deaf and hard-of-hearing team. Incredible opportunity!
- What is your favorite quote?
Two different word definitions I live by: Ouroboros symbolizes eternity, cyclic renewal, unity, and the perpetual cycle of life, death, and rebirth. Sonder is the realization that every person you encounter has a life as vivid and complex as your own.
- Three words to describe me are:
Ambitious • Consistent • Friendly
