🌟 West Central MN CEO – Class of 2026 Student Spotlight 🌟
Meet: Paulina Velazquez Lopez – KMS High School

Hello! My name is Paulina Velazquez Lopez, and I am a junior at KMS High School. I stay active in a variety of school activities, including tennis, BPA (Business Professionals of America), FFA, yearbook, and student council. Each of these experiences has helped me grow as a leader and deepen my involvement within my school community.

I joined the West Central Minnesota CEO Program because I saw it as an incredible opportunity to connect with local business leaders and build meaningful relationships within the community. I’m excited to strengthen my communication skills, gain real-world experience, and learn skills that will help me succeed long after high school.

I’m grateful to be part of this year’s CEO class and can’t wait to see how this experience helps shape my future! 🚀
