"Growing up as a student-athlete has shaped me into who I am today. My high school basketball coach is one of my biggest inspirations. She was big into community service and being held accountable at all times, which helped me grow into a person with great integrity. She encouraged us to play to win, but she also valued developing her players into great humans. I know these are values that Bayer holds to as well."

"My previous manager is a huge inspiration to me. His passion for this industry has motivated me to climb the ladder in my career. He's very supportive of me pursuing this role at Bayer, and he's written me a great recommendation letter."
