Our REAL People of the College of Business series continues with versatile third-year student Emily Bestor. Get to know her through her own words:
“I grew up in Ashland, Oregon, and I’m a junior here at OSU, majoring in business information systems and business management. I am also pursuing a minor in French. I currently work as an accounting assistant at the Auxiliaries and Activities Business Center. If you are a treasurer for a club, it’s highly likely I’ve helped you in the office! One of my favorite things I’m involved in on campus is DAMchic Magazine. I’ve always been interested in journalism, and I love brainstorming ideas for photo shoots and then watching the whole magazine come together beautifully.
“I’m someone who is analytical and likes to understand how things work, not just that they work. It’s a certain way of thinking.
“My parents own a retail store, Travel Essentials. I’ve spent a lot of time in the store, working with customers. And I’ve been learning about the systems they use, how their website works. That’s sort of what made me interested in BIS. A BIS education is also just a really good tool to have, something that will help me with challenges I encounter in whatever job I have.”
