Gateway to the West
St. Louis has all the conveniences of an urban center while still remaining a very livable city. Momentum has been building for St. Louis over the past decade, with a revitalized urban core, a growing entrepreneurial spirit, and many new cultural, recreational, and entertainment options.
“In my job, I love the people, both internal and external. As a fundraiser, I know that relationships are key to doing my job well. I enjoy meeting our alumni on the West Coast and in St. Louis and learning their stories, and I like working internally with UA colleagues.”
