“I’ve spent much of the last decade building a career in the field and have had some great learning opportunities along the way.” “I have always had a passion for marketing and communications, and after leaving school I still wanted to put my education to good use,” said Kramer. She felt compelled to help provide for her family, and looked for a job that would accomplish this aim and give her practical experience. Just six credits shy of graduating, Kramer withdrew from school due to family hardship and financial strain. She has, however, taken obstacles presented to her and turned them into opportunities. Kramer’s journey hasn’t been easy - there was a nine-year break between when she initially left school and when she returned this past semester. She was raised in a Wolfpack-loving family, and in 2006 started her college career at her dream school.
