Hi! My name is Kristin Jaspers and I’m a graduate student in the accelerated Master of Science in Management program at Wake Forest University in the class of 2022.

I’m a driven and creative young professional who is passionate about making connections and learning as much as possible from every experience. Through my graduate studies, I’m working towards building a foundation of business skills while strengthening my knowledge in digital marketing and communications and pursuing a concentration in Strategic Resource Management. On-campus, I currently serve as a student leader on the Student Engagement Council and as a Student Ambassador.

I’m an analytical problem-solver and strategic thinker, and my degrees in business and communications as well as my prior internship experience have led me to gain real-world experience and opened doors to a variety of future career paths. I’m very excited to continue learning and growing within the industry, and I have strong aspirations to eventually get an MBA, and hopefully, one day start my own company.

I grew up on Long Island, New York prior to starting college at UGA in 2016. Growing up near New York City, I appreciated at a young age how much I absolutely love the hustle and pace of a large city. I decided to pursue my undergrad in Athens, Georgia, and now grad school in Winston-Salem, North Carolina because I wanted to experience something different and break out of my comfort zone. Living in the south for the past few years has taught me how to look at situations from different perspectives which I’m confident will lead me to success in my future career.
