Vicki is a recent college graduate from UNLV with degrees in marketing and international business, and is currently pursuing a dual Master of Business Administration and Master of Science - Management Information Systems. She began working for a program called GEAR UP in 2017 that is aimed at middle and high school students to help them gain awareness and information about post-secondary education, as well as providing those students with opportunities to explore their options after graduation and beyond. She now continues to work for GEAR UP as a graduate research assistant and hopes that her experience at the program will help her better understand the influence and impact education has on business and their potential customers in the future.
