My name is Christina Lambatsos and I am looking forward to connecting with you! I moved to Phoenix AZ with my family when I was 10 years old, and I have been here ever since. I graduated from Desert Mountain high school in 2016. In high school I found the love for business and entrepreneurship through after school programs and a summer camp. After high school I attended Scottsdale Community College and short after I graduated from ASU and received my bachelor’s degree in marketing with an emphasis in digital communications. I worked for Frito Lay right after college as a Sales Manager, and now I currently work as a pharmaceutical sales Representative. In my free time I love to bake, box, and travel. I also enjoy shopping and swimming with my friends! Can’t wait to meet you!

Hi! My name is Matt Sostrom. I love being outdoors, photography, and camping. I recently
graduated from GCU with a degree in marketing and advertising, and before that, I was a
student of Mr. Nilsson’s at Desert Mountain HS. I love entrepreneurship! I have started 2
successful small businesses and I’ve won some awards through DECA, a competitive business
club, for explaining my plans to grow them. I started Kahau Kones when I was 16, and I sold
shaved ice at almost every elementary school in the Scottsdale and Paradise Valley districts.
Not being able to offer shaved ice anymore because school events were cancelled during the
covid pandemic, I started Aloha Arizona Photography. This business offers real estate
photography, drone mapping, and virtual tour imaging to a wide variety of professionals. Now,
post college, I am still working on Aloha Arizona Photography while working towards my dream
of being an air ambulance helicopter pilot. I am beginning flight school very soon and I am
excited that entrepreneurship and so many inspirational people like Mr. Nilsson have helped
pave a way for me to achieve my dreams.

My name is Brianna Atwood and I currently am a Human Resources manager with Target. In 2020, received my Associate’s in Business from Scottsdale Community College, and continued my education at ASU graduating with a Bachelor’s in Management in 2022. I started working when I was 16 and knew I had a love for teaching people but I wasn’t sure how to pursue that or make it into my career. I took a marketing class with Eric Nilsson who gave great guidance and helped me navigate extracurriculars like DECA. From then on, I knew that management was the route I wanted to take for a career path. I became a retail manager at the age of 18 and have been a leader of people for almost 6 years. My favorite part of my job is seeing the growth and success of my team each day. I am currently pursuing a certificate in Human Resources Management to further my knowledge within my current role. In my free time, I love spending time with my family! I am currently learning Spanish and have recently taken up an interest in volunteering
