2007-8 Officers and Directors
Melissa Gibson
Hometown: Princeton,
IL
High School: Princeton High School
Major(s) at U of I: Accounting
Favorite class or instructor: Business Law
Other memories: I lived in Lincoln Avenue Residence Hall (LAR)
my freshman year and later became a member of Delta Delta Delta sorority.
I have fond memories home football games, the smell of South Farms and
late night cramming before exams, then running out for “last call”!
Work history: My first job out of school was working for Ernst
& Young as an auditor in Chicago. I left there for a position as an
internal auditor for Taco Bell/PepsiCo in Southern California. After several
years I decided to spread my wings (so to speak) and became a flight attendant
for America West Airlines in Phoenix. I loved aviation so much that I
subsequently took other positions as a charter coordinator and a corporate
flight attendant. Somewhere along the way I realized that I wanted to
keep my feet on the ground – so I started a catering business, AirFare
Catering, with my sister this past fall that serves the private aviation
community.
