Carrie Skillman: The Leader

Marketing major Carrie Skillman learned what it means to take the lead as president of Alpha Chi Omega, which required her to understand the needs of and make decisions for 70 women.

“That was my biggest challenge, I think, trying to figure out what they wanted, but my business classes involved a lot of group work, which helped me work better with people in a team setting,” Skillman said.

Skillman ultimately would like to take her leadership skills to New York City, where she hopes to find a job with an event-marketing firm or a prestigious advertising agency.

“Carrie is sharp. She’s street smart, well traveled, and a good leader,” said marketing instructor Joe Myslivec. “She can work with all types of individuals.”
