Katrina’s passion for the automotive industry stems from her family’s deep-rooted love for the field and the people in it. This passion led her to Northwood University, where she quickly immersed herself in the Northwood University International Auto Show.
From the moment she stepped on campus, Katrina fell in love with Northwood’s Auto Show. Starting as a captain her freshman year, she worked her way onto the Eboard and ultimately achieved her goal of becoming NUIAS General Chair. Through this experience, she gained invaluable leadership skills, hands-on industry experience, and professional growth. Her dedication to the show has opened doors to internships and job opportunities, as others have recognized her hard work and commitment.
Now, with four years of Auto Show experience, an undergraduate degree in Automotive Marketing and Management, and the start to her accelerated MBA, Katrina is well-prepared for a successful career in the automotive industry. She is eager to help others find similar opportunities and serve as a mentor, just as others have guided her along the way.
