 from Southwest Tech, Christina Hill. Oh boy, there's a lot of you. Good evening fellow state ambassadors, staff, friends, and family. My name is Christina Hill and I'm honored to be Southwest Tech's state student ambassador. I come from Boscow, Wisconsin where I live with my husband of 14 years and my two beautiful children. My journey at Southwest Tech started 13 years ago. I was enrolled in the cosmetology program. Unfortunately, both of my kids at a very young age got extremely sick. I ended up missing about three weeks of school. It was very, very hard to get back on track once I started. As many people who know me, my go-to saying is I'm a mother first. So at that point it was in my best interest to withdraw from classes and start at a later date. Fast forward to April 2017. My husband and I decided to take our kids out for a meal and our waitress was everything but nice to us. I was talking to my husband about how she could improve her customer service skills, which I do a lot. I told him I would love to help teach her the proper way to have customer service skills and to serve her customers. It was at that point I decided on what I was going to do. The next week I met with Jeff Dombach, which is now one of my culinary instructors. Jeff was the first contact I had with Southwest Tech in 13 years. He made me feel like I was coming back for the right reasons. It was within 20 minutes I decided that that fall I was going to be enrolled at Southwest Tech for the culinary art program. Since I have been at Southwest Tech, I have met some incredible people, people who believe in me. Both of my instructors, Jeff Dombach and Karen Bass, have opened up my eyes to so many possibilities way beyond what I could have even imagined. I will forever be thankful for that. My nominator, Jordan, is always available when I talk, when I need to talk and has became someone I look up to. I am very thankful for this opportunity and I hope to reach out to as many students new and current to share the great opportunities that Southwest Tech has to offer. After I graduate, my husband and I plan on opening up a restaurant in the basketball area so if you ever get down there within three years come see me. Our goal will be to help the younger generations learn about great customer service and to teach them about the industry I've come to love. Thank you.
