Annie Zdrojewski   MBA - Values Based Leadership ('08) Redlands, CA Full Time Language(s): English Clubs: Executive Mentor Program, G.I.V.E. Net Impact I graduated from the University of Notre Dame in 2001 with a B.A. in English/Philosophy. After graduation, I moved to Denver and worked for three years as a Center Director for Score! Educational Center, where I taught and mentored children while managing the operations, staff, marketing, and sales in my center. I then went on to become a Sales and Marketing Manager at LifeBound Publishing in Denver , which is when I decided to apply to M.B.A. school. I also worked part time in executive recruiting while applying to schools and through my first quarter at Daniels. As a Values Based Leadership concentration student, I am interested in issues of ethics, values, corporate social responsibility, and sustainability in business. I would like to work in management, marketing, or human resources for a non-profit company or a company with a strong focus on corporate social responsibility after I graduate. I am interested in change management and really enjoy developing and coaching people to become better at their jobs and more satisfied in their lives. Outside of school, I enjoy hiking, camping, snowboarding, reading, writing, and I am training for my first marathon.  azdrojew@du.edu
