University in the utmost fashion, welcoming new students, and preparing them for success at the University of Utah. I walked away from this experience with an incredible amount of personal growth and knowledge as well as a new passion for a future career.
Gordy's - Fontana,WI
Along with being the #1 boat dealer in North America, Gordy's Marina in Fontana WI is a restaurant, ski school, boat service, pro-shop, and much more. I am blessed to be able to have such a lively and wonderful summer job, that has also taught me many life skills.
I am a sales associate for the Pro-shop. My main responsibilities are to provide excellent customer service, keep the shop neat and tidy, and work the cash register.
In addition to my main responsibilities, I was selected to coordinate, plan, set up, and run multiple tent sales throughout the summer. While doing this I used marketing techniques taught to me in class, to come up with many different marketing and advertising strategies.
Senior Project
As a senior I completed a senior project in my community. I decided to do something I was possibly intrested in doing in the future, and something I loved to do. I choose to coach a youth dance team, to compete throughout the spring of 2016.
Throughout this project I learned so much. I took a group of eight, 8-10 year olds from placing bottom of the bunch to the second highest scoring routine of their age group, all in less than two weeks.
I saw how hard and competitve it was to be a teacher and choreographer and how much time, energy and passion one must commit to make results happen. I learned to play to the groups' strenghts, while still challenging them and making them work hard.
I am so glad to have this experience, and to be able to learn and grow so much from it. My little team has qualified to compete at nationals this summer, and I couldn't be prouder.
Badger DECA Discount Card
In my Honors Advanced Marketing class, myself and nine other classmates worked very hard for almost an entire semester communicating, planning and executing a discount card valid in our community. We worked with local businesses and came up with a card to honor the discounts we discussed, for an entire year. Once the cards were printed, we chose to sell them for price of $15 as a DECA chapter fundraiser. The class voted, and picked the sign I made, to use as our advertising poster.
Getting this kind of real world experience, as part of my classroom learning is incredible. Working directly with businesses in my community, as a high schooler was and amazing experience. I learned so much from this project, and hope to do more things like this in my future.
