Professional Background: It was my 11th grade English teacher who inspired me to find a career that would allow me to use my writing skills, so I decided to pursue a degree in Communications. While studying at Hope College, I partook in a number of internships – one of them being in Corporate Communications at Amway. One taste of corporate life, and I was hooked. Following graduation, my goal was to secure a career back at the company, and here I am! In addition to Corporate Communications, I’ve had the opportunity to work in Employee Communications as well as gain PR experience at our North American affiliate.
