This post is from
an email sent to the St. Andrews community by Director of Career Services, Renee Jones, who attended the IHSA Hunter Seat show Sept. 29th.
While
enjoying the competition at our equestrian center this weekend, I had an
opportunity to catch up with alumnae Audrey Bolte ’11. You may remember
her as a student, an equestrian, a friend, or as the alum who holds the current
title of Miss Ohio as well as Second Runner Up in the Miss USA pageant back in
June.
Audrey
is getting ready to start a new career track and put to use her BA in BusinessAdministration. In November, after she crowns the new Miss Ohio, she plans to
move to New York City where she will be working for Donald Trump at
International Boutique Real Estate Agency. She will also be doing some modeling
for his agency and appearing on a TV show or two.
To
St. Andrews she says, “This college is what made me! This includes the
professors, coaches, and my friends.” In regard to being back at the SAU barn
she said, “It feels a little weird. But this is what I eat, breath, and sleep
every day. That will never change!”
She
had a lot to say about networking and making connections and wanted to share
her thoughts with current students. “It is not necessarily who you know. It is
all about what you do with the people you are introduced to.”
The
picture below was taken immediately after the crowning of Miss USA. Mr. Trump
approached Audrey while she was still on stage and told her that he had a job
for her. She was back in NYC a couple weeks ago for New York Fashion Week and
met with him and his inner circle and “sealed the deal.”
