As a fellow NC State alumnus, I share your pride in our alma mater. As an alumni association volunteer network leader for the Tampa Bay region, my connection to NC State grows deeper with each story shared because my experiences represent just a moment in the rich tradition of our Wolfpack, but collectively – that’s the “Strength of the Pack.”
This year, as president of your NC State Alumni Association Board of Directors, it is my honor and privilege to represent the passions of over 300,000 alumni around the globe. It is my mission to hear and share your stories because sharing our experiences strengthens our common bond. I am committed to fostering an environment in which your legacy flourishes because it doesn’t matter if you are a young alumnus or a Golden Graduate, we are all Red and White for Life!
