Meet Our Student Advisors

Fall 2021 Cohort

Olivia Castillon

Minnesota Virtual Academy

Career Field: Undecided

Grade: 10

Hobbies: I like reading, playing sports, running, hanging out with friends and family, baking, playing with my dogs, watching movies, etc.

I have had a dream to become a detective for as long as I can remember. Working to solve crime and improve the community I live in seems like such a fulfilling and rewarding job. I would be giving justice to the families of victims and preventing further crimes from happening. If I decide not to become a detective, I would like to work in the medical field.  

Brayden Robinette

Minnesota Virtual Academy

Career Field: Health and Human Services

Grade: 10

Hobbies: Baking, cooking, traveling, and biking

I chose Health and Human Services mainly because I want to go into the medical field. Digging a little deeper into why I've chosen this pathway, I am compassionate and enjoy caring for the people around me. I always want to see the people in my community healthy. I love helping people! 

Tayler Nickerson

Minnesota Virtual Academy

Career Field: Still Deciding

Grade: 10

Hobbies: Baking, reading, writing, researching/learning, riding horse, doing chores

I am still between two pathways: either journalism or crime scene investigating. Both interest me deeply, I love politics and writing so that is part of my obsession with journalism. I also love true crime, learning about forensic science and that is why I am also very intrigued by CSI.

Aleena Polanco

Minnesota Virtual Academy

Career Field: Business

Grade: 10

Hobbies: Outside of school my hobbies are, volunteering, writing poetry, and SkillsUSA.

I chose the Stride business pathway because I felt that the classes offered would be most applicable to what I could need in a variety of jobs. Another reason I made the decision to be a part of this pathway was because I love administrational work. Joining the workforce, I aspire to be someone who takes charge and handles organizational details. I truly believe that through my pathway, I am learning the skills to meet that aspiration.

Spring 2021 Cohort

Jake Adams

Minnesota Virtual Academy

Career Field: Business

Hi, I’m Jake! I enjoy being outdoors—boating, hiking, etc. I also enjoy hanging with family! After high school, I plan to go for a job in business, possibly accounting.
