My dream job has always been that of trauma surgeon. Many loved ones in my life have passed away due to trauma-related incidents, and I would love to be able to save others’ loved ones. Helping people is something I am so passionate about and I surely could not see myself doing anything else.

Career Field: Business

Hello, my name is Cheyenne Niemann. I am a 17-year-old junior at Michigan Great Lakes Virtual Academy (MGLVA). This is my fourth year at MGLVA. I appreciate the virtual learning environment because it helps me stay focused. Being in the marketing career path, I am able to complete courses in my intended field each semester. I decided to become a student advisor so that I could gain real-world work experience. I am a competitive dancer and have been dancing for 14 years. I am a member of the National Honor Society and I love to travel. My dream is to one day explore the world!
