Katrina Begrow '18
Employer
Junior Achievement of the Michigan Great Lakes / Sr. Special
Events Manager
1. Tell us about your journey since graduation.
Since graduation, I was hired at Junior Achievement of the
Michigan Great Lakes as their Special Events Manager. I have been
promoted since and have also helped grow their internship program as a
personal passion of mine.
2. Share a favorite Grand Valley memory.
My final presentation for my Advertising Capstone. My group gave
a FLAWLESS presentation to our clients. I never felt more on top of my
game than at that moment. I was so proud of myself and my group.
3. What's the best piece of advice you've ever received?
Every person you meet is a potential door to a new
opportunity—personally or professionally. Build good bridges even in
that just-for-now job, because you never know how they’ll weave into
the larger picture of your life.—Kristina Leonardi, Career Coach
4. List three words you would use to describe your Grand
Valley experience.
Community. Growth. Experience.
5. What difference would you like to make in the world?
Help young people realize their potential. Whether it be
professionally or not, I want to always continue mentoring young
people to help them realize how BIG the world is and how much of a
footprint you can leave if you just press on hard enough.
