Local business journal features work of grad, Kerri Kirshner
Kerri 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.
