Office Girl to CEO

Pamela Robertson, Springfield, Mo., sophomore, is an energetic, full-time, non-traditional student at Missouri State University. She juggles a husband, three cats and working a 40 hour work week as an administrative assistant at The Kitchen, a not-for-profit agency that helps the homeless and impoverished. When asked what she wants to do after graduating, a small grin transforms into a full-blown smile as her enthusiasm for the topic becomes evident. Leaning forward in her chair, she replied, “My dream is to someday be the CEO of a non-profit agency.” With a major in public relations, emphasis in non-profit administration and a good amount of experience in the not-for-profit business, Mrs. Robertson is well on her way to realizing her goal.
