Our Q2 Star of the Quarter is Dakota Mullikin. After graduating from Aberdeen High School in 2016, Dakota set her sights on Eastern Washington University. She attended EWU right after high school and earned her Bachelor's of Science in Accounting. Her original plan, was to move away from the Harbor to pursue her career. However, the COVID-19 Pandemic put a halt in her plans.
Dakota had no intention of utilizing her Account Degree here on the Harbor. However, through a series of small town surprises, she heard about Inspire Advisors. Dakota was thrilled to hear about the work they were doing at Inspire to serve local businesses. In her words, "It has been such an unexpected career path, but I have loved every step!"
Dakota has been a member of GHYP since our very first meeting. When we first started in 2022, Dakota was working with Inspire part-time, and worked a couple days a week at DJ's Coffee Stand by Casa Mia. She recently accepted a full time position with Inspire & is utilizing her degree to build her career right here at home. Dakota's story is a true testimony to the power of collaborating with your peers in your hometown.
Her favorite part about her job, is learning something new every day. And her favorite thing about GHYP, is meeting other young people that see the potential for our community. When she isn't working, and the sun is out, you'll probably find Dakota on the golf course or relaxing by the lake.
Dakota is truly an outstanding individual both as a friend & as a professional. If you haven't had the pleasure of getting to know her yet, make sure you say "Hi" next time you see her around. Congratulations on being our 2023 Q2 Star of the Quarter!
