FTE Alumna, Noelle Link, is a current senior at Ravenwood High School in Brentwood Tennessee.

What stands out to Noelle when looking back on her time at FTE is all of the people she met, Noelle says, “I loved getting to be in an environment with like-minded students who also had an interest in economics.” She has learned a lot from her experience and most recently applied learned leadership skills as president of the Rho Kappa honor society at her school, “I know how important it is to work with others and to listen to what others have to say. This has helped me work more efficiently with my leadership team and to make decisions that will have the best impact on the honor society.”

In school Noelle enjoys learning about history and would be interested in exploring a history and international business major in college. Noelle looks up to the leadership of Jeff Bezos and will continue to hone her leadership skills hoping to be as successful and innovative as the Amazon founder one day.
