The Comeback Kid
Amanda shares her hometown of sunny Jacksonville, Florida with Adecco headquarters. Impressively, she recently graduated from Smith College in Northampton, Massachusetts. Admittedly, her tenure at school started off a bit rough, but in the end she persevered with help from friends, professors and her basketball teammates. As a result, Amanda is happy to say, “Smith is a place that both attracts and breeds strong women and I am a better person from having spent 4 years there.”
Currently, Amanda is pursuing a master’s degree in sports management. To cheer Amanda on to victory, make sure to tag @Zakoske on Twitter! #AmandaforCEO
The Decision Maker
A 2016 Carthage College graduate from Kenosha, Wisconsin, Carl appreciates strong leadership. Not only was he the President of his fraternity, he was also involved in ten leadership programs and societies. As Carl puts it, “One of my mentors once told me “You can either be the leader that everyone likes or the leader that everyone respects”. I come back to this quote whenever I need to make a big decision. It reminds me that the popular answer may not always be the right answer.
Carl hopes to put his degree in Graphic Design and Public Relations to work after the CEO for One Month experience. Cheer on this future leader @CarlSaenger on Twitter! #CarlforCEO
The All-American Athlete
As an All-American Scholar student athlete, Courtney earned a gold medal at the 2013 NCAA Rowing Championship and won the 2011 NCAA Sportsmanship of the Year Award while attending Nova Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
This hard-working Sarasota native says her mother is a huge force in her life. “For someone who is a single mom, has three engaging adult children, owns her own business, and works fourteen hours a day, I’m astonished how she manages to keep her head attached to her body. She champions every move I have ever made and continue to make. She is my biggest fan, the most candid person in my life, and someone who I can always count on.”
