Sydney’s career path:
While in college, I worked in Student Engagement, which kind of guided me toward higher education. I knew I would miss going to college and thought maybe working in a college would fill that hole (it does!). During college, as well as after college, I worked in the customer service industry for about 4 years. Working with the public was something I was passionate about and knew that I also wanted to move forward in that industry.

Familiarity with the Lakeshore district:
I moved to Sheboygan in 2017 for college after living in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan my whole life. I now consider this my second home.

Sydney’s advice to prospective students:
Choose a career path/place that you can see yourself fitting in or doing in the future. Ask questions – there is no such thing as a stupid question. There is also no such thing as a wrong answer if you follow the path you are meant to take.

Most enjoyable aspect of Gianna’s role:

I worked for Eckerd College in admissions for 2.5 years. I worked with students from the Pacific Northwest, Rocky Mountain, Southwest, and Northern Florida Territories. I am a huge advocate for accessibility and belonging and it reflected in my efforts at Eckerd. From being Co-Advisor for the First Gen Students club, to being a reader for a diversity-based scholarships, I care about being an advocate for you!

Gianna’s advice to prospective students:
Think about what soft skills you possess (strong communication, detail-oriented, hands-on learning, etc.) Next, apply it to a hard skill (Nursing, Accounting, Welding, etc). This will help you not only develop the confidence to pursue your program of choice but sustain your career path in what you know how to do best!

I think that everyone deserves to know the options and opportunities there are when it comes to their future and Lakeshore opens doors to all of that and more!

Familiarity with the Lakeshore district:
I’ve had friends attend Lakeshore, but I haven’t had much exposure to the district until now. I’m excited to learn and explore more of what Lakeshore has to offer.

Wanlee’s advice to prospective students:
Goals and dreams will always be a “what if” until you take that first step. Discover what’s important to you and commit to it fully. It may be hard in the moment, but it’s going to be so rewarding in the long run. Never give up!
