Kirshner left her day job about three and a half years
ago to open her own business, Acclaimed Photography, in
Bothell. Recently, the Snohomish County Business
Journal featured the SCC grad (1998) and her
successful business.
Kirshner studied business administration and
photography, earning an AAAS in Business Administration
and an AAAS in Purchasing Management. She studied
at SCC over the course of five years. During her
time at the College, Kirshner was involved in student
government, worked on the student newspaper and was a
member of the DEC program. "I loved my time at
Shoreline; I was there all the time. It was a
really good time in my life," says Kirshner. "I
think every one should start out at a two-year college."
She found the instructors very helpful and supportive,
but David Starr was one of her all-time favorites.
"He was always there for you and he really took time for
students."
Kirshner says that the knowledge she learned in her
business and purchasing management classes has been
invaluable in her career. She always wanted to
follow in her father's and grandfather's footsteps by
opening her own business. Her father sold horse
trailers and her grandfather started the Kirshner
Driving School in Bellevue "" he had a family business in
Palestine before moving to the states. "I also
helped my dad manage rental properties," says Kirshner.
