For some students who work in essential roles, when schools closed down, working hours went up. We visit with one of those students who, in addition to dealing with the circumstances as a senior, also has been spending more time working as part of Hy-Vee’s Aisles Online department as grocers pivoted to better serve their customers during the pandemic. XHS marketing intern, Ella Schulte (X20) visits with fellow classmate/recent graduate, Aubrey Jones (X20), to gain a sense of how the past few months have impacted her.
As we continue to navigate the uncharted territory of the COVID-19 pandemic, we wanted to check in with an alum who is a medical professional to gain a better sense of how life has changed for them. We recently sat down with 2006 XHS alumna, Stephanie (Greif) Klappholz, who has served as a nurse for 10 years and currently serves as an Education Specialist III for the Emergency Department at Mercy Medical Center in Cedar Rapids.
