About Me

Hello everyone! My name is Marissa Simmons, and I am a senior at Anna-Jonesboro Community High School. I am involved in Wildcat Student Advisory Council and I help keep inventory in our Comfort Closet at the school for anyone who doesn’t have access to many necessities. Outside of school, I currently work at Old Route 51 South BBQ and constantly help the people close to me with small tasks and jobs that they cannot do on their own. In the free time I have, I spend a lot of time with my family and boyfriend, reading, working on small crafts, and overall enjoying the many aspects of life. After graduating high school, I plan to attend Southeast Missouri State University to get a degree in Business Administration and Marketing. 

CEO is continuing to bring a multitude of opportunities to my life. I am creating friendships and relationships that I would have never imagined before I was accepted into the program. I am learning more about myself and my habits daily, while also acknowledging those around me and the best ways to work with them! My favorite CEO visit up to this point, had to be when we met at the Meisenheimer’s horse stables. This visit truly highlighted how fun a small business can be if you hold the passion and interest for the field, and reminded me to do the things that I love. I am so proud to be a part of the UCCEO team, and would not trade it for the world! I cannot wait to see how my individual business turns out, as well as all of my other classmate’s businesses of choice!
