My college career has been a long but meaningful experience. I began by attending community college from 2013-2017 and graduated from Illinois Valley Community College with an Associates in Science degree. I continued my journey in higher education by transferring to the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater in order to earn a bachelors degree. During my time in Whitewater, I joined the student organization American Marketing Association (AMA). In AMA, I actively took classroom knowledge and lessons and used it to work for real clients for our subdivision Creative Marketing Unlimited (CMU). In CMU, I was in charge of managing and maintaining one of the largest accounts. On December 21st, 2019, I graduated with a Bachelors of Business and Administration in Marketing degree. My higher education journey was not a straight line. However, I learned a lot from this. My greatest takeaway from my circuitous journey us that there will always be obstacles and detours along the way, but no matter what happens, never give up.
