In today’s dynamic business landscape, diverse knowledge and experience are crucial for 
success. At Tiger Ventures, business teacher Nickeya Smith is ensuring students gain this perspective by inviting local professionals to share their expertise.
Recently, Maria Fronek, an engineer and UEHS Class of 1984 alumna volunteered her time to engage with seniors in an in-depth session. With nearly 30 years in the engineering field, Ms. Fronek shared her journey, emphasizing adaptability in a constantly evolving profession. She highlighted how business practices and advancing technology are intertwined with all industries, from healthcare to retail.
Students actively participated, asking questions about her career and seeking advice for their own paths. Mrs. Smith encouraged students to explore the vast opportunities available, demonstrating how business principles apply across various sectors.
Connecting with local professionals provides students with a clearer understanding of their future possibilities and practical guidance for achieving their goals.
