After graduating from Portland State University in 2016 with a double major in Human Resources and Management & Leadership I now find myself primarily in benefits and wellness. Over the last year learning these new roles at Harsch they fit together seamlessly. What I enjoy about benefits is vendor relationships, traveling for Open Enrollment presentations, and the 1:1 service I provide to employees. When couple that with a year-long wellness campaign that includes an Activity Challenge, Self-Care, and Adopt-A-Family Giving. I get to be creative, active, and help other focus on aspects of their lives outside of work.
