Gretchen Hopkins

I was born in South Bend, Indiana, which is one of the nearest big cities to the small town I was raised in. I grew up in the tiny farming village of Decatur, Michigan. I received my bachelor’s in marketing from Michigan Technological University with a background in biological sciences as well as cultural diversity. I find it exciting to learn about and understand different cultures, because of the insights gained when different perspectives and experiences are explored, compared, and better understood. I started playing rugby when I was in college and it has also become one of my greatest passions. I am very talkative, typically, and I love making people laugh. So far, my favorite thing about COACT is the camaraderie and uplifting environment in the office.

If a genie offered me one wish, I would absolutely, positively, without hesitation, wish for a unicorn.

The actress that would play me in a movie would either be Rebel Wilson or Amy Poehler.

My favorite pastime activity is painting, only acrylic so far but I am excited to have time to explore different mediums and paint styles.
