Happy Friday, LinkedIn family! Reflecting on this week, the words that come to mind are impactful, intentional, and grateful. I had the incredible opportunity to connect with so many amazing Broncos at Western Michigan University - Haworth College of Business! From speaking with the Hispanic Business Organization on The Power of LinkedIn to teaming up with my wonderful colleague Kaitlyn Lay to share insights on our careers at Gordon Food Service, it was truly a full-circle moment. Special thanks to Dr. Mary Nielsen for welcoming us into her sales class, where we highlighted how Western shaped our professional journeys. A huge thank you to Alexis Santamaria Morales, the e-board, and Dr. Nielsen for the opportunity to give back, pour into, and uplift these future leaders as they navigate their career paths. Looking forward to seeing their continued success! #BusinessBronco #FutureLeaders #CareerDevelopment #ItTakesAVillage
