She has had a lot of opportunities, and she has taken advantage of as many as possible. She participated in LeaderShape in January of 2015. She also got involved with the Memorial Union Board, a student programming board on campus, where she currently is the Special Events Committee Chair.</span></span>
<span style="font-family:verdana,geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:medium;">After a trip out to Silicon Valley with the two other University Innovation Fellows from Michigan Tech, they realized that there were more students on campus interested in promoting innovation , design thinking, and entrepreneurship creativity but no one place that they can all come together. With her fellow UIFs, they have created a new student organization on campus called The Movement. The purpose of The Movement is to promote the innovative and entrepreneurial culture on campus by focusing on the design thinking process as well as creativity and soft prototyping through a makerspace, events, and resources.</span></span>
<span style="font-family:verdana,geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:medium;">At Michigan Tech, she has been working on spreading the culture of innovation by planning and facilitating creativity, design thinking, and innovation events on campus. This includes a #uifresh event that all first year students attended. Throughout the course of one day, approximately 1300 students from all majors had the chance to participate in a 30 minute hands-on design experience called "Chill Out with #uifresh". Additionally, she is working with another fellow and the Michigan Tech Center for Science and Environmental Outreach to create and facilitate an after-school class for students in 3rd - 5th and 6th - 8th grades entitled "Discovering Your Creative Confidence and Inner Maker". The 6-week class will give the students an introduction to design thinking through weekly hands-on activities.</span></span>
