Kelsey Blankenberger is an Academic Coordinator/Grant Manager at Deaconess Hospital who celebrated her one year anniversary at Deaconess with a fresh, exciting headshots session. I loved hearing about her enthusiasm for the new medical students and introducing them to the Deaconess Health System midtown campus! Her passion and drive for her career is obvious, and it's easy to see she loves what she does.
Her infectious smile, amazing style, and joyful personality were so much fun to capture, and I had so much fun shooting with her! Keep reading below to learn more about Kelsey and her experience.
What is the name of the company you work for?
Deaconess Hospital
What is your job title?
Academic Coordinator/Grant Manager
What is your favorite thing about your line of work?
The people - definitely the people I have met. I have met so many incredible people, and they have all taught me so much about medical education. We all want the same things; we want medical students to have access to Deaconess' outstanding teaching physicians and a world class health system with the latest technology and a full spectrum of specialists. I have a lot of things I love about my position, but my favorite is meeting students on their first day of their rotation and giving them a brief orientation and showing them around Deaconess Midtown campus. I am very proud to work for Deaconess, so I enjoy showing students everything that is available to them during their rotation here.
What was your favorite part of your headshot shoot experience?
Working with Alisha and her team. She is so bubbly and full of energy. Alisha made me feel so comfortable during the photo-shoot.
How did your headshot session make you feel?
I decided to get my headshots done as a "mini-celebration" of being at Deaconess Hospital for 1 year. It was always a big goal for me to work there once I finished my Health Service degree (all while working full time and being a mom to the sweetest girl). This session made me feel strong, beautiful and accomplished.
Would you recommend a headshot session to anyone else? If so, who?
Absolutely. Anyone currently working or planning to work in a professional setting. A headshot session with Alisha would be a great gift for a college graduate!
What image was your favorite?
I loved all the pictures, but my absolute favorite was the close up of me in my black shirt and blue skirt. I love that midi skirt- it's the perfect Deaconess blue color and it was such a classic look. Skirt: Asos.com Earrings: Jcrew.com
