Stacie Converse

My name is Stacie Converse, I'm nineteen, and I'm a freshman at Nichols College. I plan on graduating with a major in Marketing. The reason I chose this field is because I have a strong interest in advertising. I think that it is a marketing tool that is extrememly important to the success of businesses. When I'm not in school I spend my time hanging out with friends, working, and cheerleading. I cheer for the college team and this spring we are proud to be competing in the National competition in Daytona, Florida.

 

 

 

 

Being committed to this team is a lot of hard work. It has helped me with time management and teamwork. I've learned similiar characteristics through part time jobs as a sales associate at Calvin Klein, a hostess at Red Robin, and a Babysitter on the weekends. Having to work for my money definitely helped me realize the value of a dollar and the importance of maintaining a budget. In this Digital Applications course I hope to become more familiar with skills in technology. Our culture is extrememly technologically advanced and our involvement of technology in our day to day lives increases everyday. With that being said, in order to establish yourself as a knowledgable and professional candidate for a job, it is important to be skilled when it comes to the computer.

Another course I find interesting here is Criminal Justice. Althought I don't plan to major in this field, I'm still intrigued. Because of this interest, I found an online FBI blog. The blog has many interesting headline stories involving online hit-men, sex trafficking, crime statistics, and the recent tools and gadgets used in crime solving. It's a really interesting blog and it is maintained by the government. The site has contact info as well as publication info to certify that it is in fact run by the FBI.
