Already an exemplary student, Lisa’s goal is to make other people comfortable through service with a degree in Business Administration concentrated in Hospitality and Tourism. She has demonstrated a go-getter attitude and a passion for creating inclusive environments during her time at Iowa Valley Community College by participating in multiple Edge programs and the Iowa Regional Leadership Conference. She’s excited to be transferring to a four-year college to complete her bachelor’s degree, and we are excited to see how her career blossoms from there!

Erika earned more than just a degree in her time at @Iowa Central Community college— she has been the president of the Phi Theta Kappa society as well as the student ambassador program, while being an R.A. and a drum major in the college’s marching band. When not in school, she is employed at two local businesses part-time, as well as a church camp during the summer where she serves as a counselor and a lifeguard. She’ll have to start a whole new scrapbook when she transfers to Iowa State this fall to major in Criminal Justice!  

Samantha joined the healthcare workforce two years ago as a Certified Nurses Aid (CNA), where she discovered her love for the field. Currently enrolled in @NCC’s Registered Nurse (RN) program, she is setting her sights on transferring to a four-year university to continue her education. With a passion for helping others, she’s sure to find a bright future doing work she loves!
