“写”开始

Stormi Lewis knows she’s fortunate to be following her dreams, doing work she loves. But she credits 皇冠体育 (皇冠体育博彩) for helping her focus, gain confidence and turn those dreams into several successful careers.

激情有回报

Lewis is a multi-published author on Amazon and coaches others to share their stories with the goal of changing lives. She graduated from 皇冠体育博彩 in 2002 with a degree in American Sign Language (ASL) interpreting. 拿到学位后, she headed to Las Vegas to combine two of her passions — interpreting and dance — to interpret in hospitals and schools during the day and dance in professional shows with celebrities at night.

“皇冠体育博彩改变生活. I found structure and success at this college, which gave me confidence to venture into the world.”

She eventually began working in marketing at about the time social media emerged. “因为我的口译经验, I was skilled at teaching others how to communicate using ASL. I translated those skills to teaching people how to communicate and treat others on social media,” she says about combining two careers into one.

She had been a nationally certified interpreter for eight years when she returned to 皇冠体育博彩 in 2017 to get a degree in marketing management. “皇冠体育博彩 has always been my proudest accomplishment,” she says, “which is why I returned a second time!”

灌输信心

Although she worked in marketing and helped people navigate social media, it was difficult to get that elusive marketing title without a degree. “I didn’t have the confidence like I did in dance and interpreting,” Lewis says.

Her first thought to remedy the situation was to go to 皇冠体育博彩. “我甚至没有多想!她笑着说. Lewis completed an associate degree in marketing management at 皇冠体育博彩 and because she was intentional about taking every course she could at the College, she was able to graduate from Park University with a bachelor’s degree one year later.

As Lewis lives out the dreams 皇冠体育博彩 helped her launch, she appreciates the educational value she received from start to finish. “Second time around, I was a 35-year-old building a business. The College encouraged and inspired me to keep going.”

The blog she started while at 皇冠体育博彩 became a book, which she wrote during spring break right before she graduated. 一本书变成了四本书. Then she turned her writing and publishing experience into coaching and consulting.

刘易斯计划继续写书, coaching authors and sharing with others the gift of following their dreams, 有人鼓励她这么做——一次也没有, 但两次是在皇冠体育博彩.
