Hi Everyone,
My name is Markeia Gordon and this is my second semester at Penn State. I am pursuing my B.S. in Labor and Employee relations. I have my associates in the fundamentals of business from the University of Phoenix. I am from Steelton, Pennsylvania. I have been married for 13 years and together we have three boys that have all graduated and are pursuing different avenues in life. They make me very proud.
I had worked for 13 years for an entertainment company that I thought I was going retire from; that did not work out as planned. I am now looking at career opportunities that I will be happy with. I am interested in helping others with their careers and assisting individuals to maximize their full potential. I enjoy giving back and volunteer work and have worked with the PA food bank and Habitat for Humanity. My hobbies include poetry and decorating. I enjoy creating different styles and looks, I also have my license in cosmetology.
I am looking forward to continuing my journey and completing my degree. I also look forward to learning about others and getting to know different perspective

Welcome Markeia. I have worked with many students who are making career transitions like this. A degree obviously makes that an easier transition and the one you have chosen is one that is proven effective in that area. I look forward to working with you this semester.
