BYU Marriott Closing Banquet 2019
Nominee Info
Spencer Adkins
Spencer Adkins is from Tulare, California and is an MBA student at BYU Marriott. Prior to the MBA, I worked in the geographic information systems (GIS) field at both NASA and a software company called Azteca Systems. I came to the MBA program to pursue a career in brand management, a completely different field and industry than what I was used to. I was fortunate enough to land an internship with The Hershey Company last summer, and my experience there confirmed my passion for brand management. This summer, I’ll begin my career as an associate brand manager at General Mills in Minneapolis.
I would have never have imaged being where I am today when I was young. When I was thirteen, I was put on probation while my two best friends were sent to a juvenile detention center. I made a lot of dumb decisions up to that point in my life and was fortunate to be given a chance to change. What I love most about BYU Marriott is that I feel comfortable with who I am, where I came from, and what I have experienced in my life, which has inspired me to do my best to help others feel the same. My two years in the MBA program have been among the greatest of my life, and I can’t wait to give back in any way that I can!
