Layla Wallace: food marketing major, student-athlete and business owner!

The sophomore at the Haworth College of Business and owner of Layla's Cool Pops 🧁 started it at 10 years old for a school project. Jump forward nearly 10 years and the sweet shop has raised more than $20,000 for community organizations in .

“I chose Western Michigan University because of how competitive the business program was and how many resources it had for me,” she says. “There are so many things I still don’t know that I still need to work on.”

Food marketing was the right fit as she wants her business development skills to rise to the top. “I really want to market my business better and more, so that’s what I’ve been trying to do gradually. And it takes a team.”

Talk about just desserts! With many accomplishments under her apron, we can't wait to see what else she achieves at Haworth.

Joey Pisano is comfortable in a business suit or pair of scrubs after finding his fit at Haworth 👔🥼.

“The idea of having a job where no day is ever the same is so exciting to me. I want to go into medical device sales specifically, and the endless variety in that field is one thing that makes it so interesting to me."

He's not afraid of being new to something. Between his first experiences in the sales program and joining the Sales and Business Marketing Association, where he is an executive member, Joey has become comfortable putting himself out there.

Beyond his experiences on campus, Pisano had the chance to shadow a Stryker Careers sales representative through their day in a hospital, inspiring him to pursue this type of career.

It's the last of the year! Here's Steve Balaze's story in the graduate program at the Haworth College of Business: https://wmich.edu/business/news/2024/11/mba-steve-balaze

"From the Leadership for Managers course I was able to reflect on my leadership style, my impact on organizations and how I can generate purpose and engagement as a leader."

As an army officer in the logistics branch and an assistant professor in the Department of Military Science and Leadership, he finds the program's focus on leadership to be favorable for current + future assignments.

Steve credits many courses in the for providing an education full of experiences. His biggest takeaway so far? The importance of being a lifelong learner.
