Bio
Christina Harris
Junior Achievement (JA) was my first job out of college and I was fortunate to have Susan as my mentor. Susan is a true leader. During tough economic times, she embraced change and created new fundraisers to generate revenue. She managed our five person team with compassion and taught me how to effectively supervise volunteer committees and interns. Susan's background in broadcast journalism combined with her marketing experience have taken JA to a whole new level in northwestern Wisconsin.
