Year: 2020

University: Purdue University

Major: Organizational Leadership & Supervision

Partner Company: Ascend Indiana

As a Consulting Analyst at Ascend, I work with industry, higher education, and community leaders within central Indiana to develop strategic partnerships and programs that align labor force supply to industry demand. Through my work, I ensure that Hoosiers are equipped with the knowledge, skills, and abilities to secure promising career opportunities within the state. I am originally from Texas, but grew up north of Grand Rapids, Michigan. Outside of work, I enjoy playing and producing music (lo-fi jazz, soundscape, rock), mentoring youth, and spending time with my wife (Lacy) and son (Nigel). I pursued Orr because of the amazing opportunities it offers to learn and continue growing in all things business and entrepreneurship.
