About

My name is Paige Bongero, I am 21 years old, and I am currently enrolled at Eastern Michigan University where I am working towards receiving my Bachelor's Degree of Business Administration. I began my college career and received my Associate's Degree of Business Administration from Schoolcraft College. I attended the Douglas J. Aveda Institute from September of 2018 to February of 2019, graduating and receiving my certification of completion in their Esthiology program. I have worked at the same institution for the last year, and I have displayed my qualities of leadership, as well as being a team player. I have taken the position of Lead Esthetician as well as makeup artist.

Goals and interests

Career goal

My dream has always been to own my own business, or create my own brand and product line of skincare and makeup. My dad has owned his own business for over 20 years, and my mom is the Senior Vice President of a major hospice corporation so I have always had so much inspiration from their hard work, driving me to always make them proud. I would love to follow in my father's footsteps and own my own business, as it would be a piece of my passion, dedication, and drive. Becoming established in the ever-growing beauty industry would be a major goal of mine, gaining experience in different environments and situations.

Graduate school interests

I am currently unsure if I am going to enroll in graduate school after receiving my undergraduate Bachelor's Degree of Business Administration.

Outside the classroom

Over the last few years, I have discovered that I love things that deal with bettering myself as an individual, as well as making an effort to help others better themselves as well. I enjoy making videos that revolve around makeup and skincare and ways to help others improve their techniques. I really enjoy walking dogs for others, and I truly enjoy expanding my creativity through drawing and painting. Another aspect of bettering myself as an individual is through health and wellness, taking passion in nutrition and exercise.
