Meet Garbo Chan, a 2008 University of Washington Freshman whose experience in high school CTE Business and Marketing classes opened up the world of business and provided opportunities for Garbo to identify her post secondary interests and to develop as a student business leader.

“Lynnwood High School business and marketing classes greatly impacted me throughout my high school years and in my future career path. I especially appreciate the many experiences which enabled me to become more involved in the business world. The numerous events and field trip opportunities had the most impact. I was able to volunteer and become involved in the community in many ways. I was introduced to Junior Achievement in high school, which became the building block that would lead to the business aspirations I have today. I presented at the International Auto Show and Puget Sound Business Hall of Fame with the support of Junior Achievement. As a freshman at the University of Washington this year, I believe and know that these experiences and opportunities shaped my life and gave me confidence in pursuing a business career. I hope that CTE will be here for years to come so that future students will continue to be provided with numerous opportunities and experiences.“
