Cascadia Technical Academyu
Marketing & Graphic Design Intern
Jasmine Tsibikova has been an incredible addition to our team over the last six weeks as a Business Principles intern at Cascadia Tech. “Jasmine quickly became an essential part of our team,” Communications Coordinator Wendy Anderson said. “I could not have completed the memory book without her support, attention to detail, and willingness to take initiative.”
Through her internship, Jasmine gained hands-on experience in every stage of the production process, from photography and design to memory book planning and production. Her passion for the work also led to an additional internship opportunity with the Evergreen Print Center, where she gained firsthand experience with print production and fulfillment. The team shared, "We wish we had more time! We love Jasmine's enthusiasm, creativity, and passion for learning. Her communication skills are exceptional and her positive attitude is infectious. 6 weeks was not long enough and our team is going to miss her."
Jasmine shared, "After graduation, I plan to look for a job that focuses on graphic design/illustration. I will also be working on getting my bachelor’s degree in Biblical Studies online, as well as certifying in a few Adobe programs. My ultimate goal is to incorporate my faith in Jesus Christ with my art.

✈️ Hands-on learning is taking shape in the NCTA Core Plus Aerospace program!
Students Jake and Tytus are hard at work creating a new FOD (Foreign Object Debris) tray mold. In this stage of the process, they are carefully applying tooling gel coat, which serves as the base layer and helps ensure a smooth, durable mold surface.
Projects like this give students valuable experience with aerospace manufacturing techniques, materials, and industry-standard processes while building skills that translate directly to the workforce.

The evening was also a bittersweet one, as Christine Armstrong announced her retirement after years of dedicated service to CBTECH. She also introduced Chad Utter as the next CBTECH Director, marking an exciting new chapter for CBTECH while celebrating Christine's lasting impact and contributions.

Featuring Mike Yorio
We appreciate Mike Yorio from @Boeing for speaking with our Money & Business students!
Mike walked students through his career journey from mechanic to management and shared what it takes to grow within a large organization. He emphasized the importance of adaptability, continuous learning, and strong people skills — especially when managing teams and communicating with leadership.
One of the biggest takeaways for students was Mike’s reminder that the most successful employees are not the ones who know everything, but the ones willing to learn, grow, and put in the work. His experience gave students a valuable real-world perspective on career development, leadership, and professional growth.
Thank you for investing your time and experience into inspiring our students! 👏✈️
