I was born and raised in Denver, Colorado, but came out to Michigan for the high quality engineering education offered at U of M. I am majoring in Biomedical Engineering and minoring in international engineering, and determined to leave college with at least one biomedical startup. If you have any technical questions, or just want to shoot your idea around I am always open to listening and firmly believe that no idea is dumb. Finally I am an adamant believer that creativity is just as valuable if not more so then one's academic prowess. |

I am a sophomore majoring in Business with a potential minor in Art History. I am also Core Team member of MPowered Entrepreneurship and currently heading the 1000 Pitches Competition for Fall 2009. I believe entrepreneurship is something caught more so than taught, but once it's discovered the possibilities are limitless. Nothing excites me more than bouncing ideas for new college start-ups with others. I am always working on a venture of some kind. So stop by the office or shoot me a message and we'll talk about ways to kick-start your business. |

In the Fall I will be a Sophomore studying Chemical Engineering and Materials Science and Engineering. I am always available to listen and give feedback on a variety of ideas. I enjoy problem solving and creative thinking so in my free time I enjoy working on a variety of puzzles. I was born and raised in Ann Arbor, and have been a diehard Wolverines fan my whole life. Go Blue! |

I am currently in the process of finishing a B.A. in Economics. I have been working at the CfE for about a year now, and I believe it is an excellent resource for student entrepreneurs. Feel free to stop in for a free cup of coffee or some candy from the giant martini glass. We are happy to sit down and chat about startup ideas! |

Along with being a peer advisor at the CfE, I'm also a student in the department of Industrial and Operations Engineering. I am originally from New Baltimore, Michigan and am currently a sophomore. I have not started a business yet, but I definitely hope to one day in the future. When I'm not at the CfE or doing schoolwork I like to hang out with friends, play sports, run, cook, or read a good book. I love talking to people and hearing their ideas, so feel free to stop by anytime! |
