Heather Nielsen grew up in Brigham City, Utah where, upon graduating from a small Catholic high school, she started attending the University of Utah. During her time as a freshman at the U, Heather became overwhelmed with the size of her classes —many of which were held in auditoriums. In efforts to obtain a more personalized education Heather transferred to Salt Lake Community College where she was not only able to obtain the personalized education she wanted but was introduced to a world outside of SLCC.
Heather’s memories of SLCC are mainly from the Taylorsville Redwood campus where she met Professor Françoise Hibbs, French language professor, who introduced and encourage her to go on the study abroad program. Creating a connection and a community enriched her experience as a student on campus.
When asked to share a piece of advice to her fellow Bruins, Heather’s mindset reinforces the wisdom she obtained throughout the years. “Build relationships with classmates and professors. You never know when you may reconnect with them in the future.” Heather currently serves as a Senior HR Business Partner at the Grand and Little America Hotels, where her success can be attributed to her hard work and dedication.
