Recruiting and Retaining CTE Students PL session group 5

I graduated with an undergraduate degree in Sociology and mi- nor English from UIUC. I then went on to get a masters degree in Integrated Marketing Communications from Roosevelt University. While working on that degree, I interned with the Chicago Rush and Chicago Blackhawks in game day operations. I also was a manager for the retail store Express. After that, I was a college recruiter and that led me to discover my passion for students. I then got a masters in teaching from National Louis University. I am lucky I get to keep my passion for Marketing alive by teach- ing it. Along with teaching, I work game days for the Chicago Bears.

Try to get internships as often and in as many different areas as you can. While you are interning (or working part time), always do your best and network. You never know where a former col- league or boss may end up or who they know. Most of my jobs are a direct result of hard work and networking!

Experiences that I had in high school that made the most impact in my life were working with other students whether or not they were my friend and also having my spelling and grammar count in more than just English class. Both of these are things that translate to jobs!
