My name is Klaudia Sztafa and I am from Bolingbrook, Illinois. I am a Junior transfer student. I attended College of DuPage for 2 years and graduated with my Associates of Arts degree with highest honors. I was a Track & Field athlete at COD and earned recognition as a 2X National Champion and a 7X All-American NJCAA finalist. Also at COD, I was a Marketing and Social Media Coordinator for the Finance Club where I created promotional flyers and promoted the club presence through social media. Following my graduation at COD, I am currently pursuing a Bachelor in Science and Advertising through the College of Media at UIUC.
Alongside my education, I have developed skills that support my professional goals. I am comfortable using Canva and managing social media platforms such as Instagram and Tiktok which has helped me how to create engaging content and connect with different audiences. Working as the Marketing and Social Media Coordinator, I was taught how to collaborate efficiently with others, strengthen a brand's visibility and communicate ideas clearly.
My professional background includes several roles working with children and families which has strengthened my leadership, communication, and problem solving skills. As a Deck Attendant, Swim Instructor, Kidz Squad Counselor, and Adventure Camp Counselor, I learned how to stay calm under pressure, adapt to different age groups, and create positive environments. These experiences have helped shape me into someone who is dependable, patient, and ready to take on new challenges with confidence.
A few more interests of mine is that I enjoy going to the gym, staying active, hanging out with friends and listening to music!
