My name is Casey Lynn Hill. I am a student at College of Southern Nevada or CSN. I am also a 7 year veteran of the U.S Army. My MOS was 19D or Cavalry Scout. I am currently pursuing a degree in business and eventually transferring to UNLV to pursue a degree in marketing.
My first impression of IS101 and CSN was the level of professionalism that I have experienced. My professor in IS101 as well as my other courses have displayed a certain level of continuity of expertise that I want to achieve.
In 1.3.3 Smartphone facts, I have used multiple apps on my phone and understand how apps work. I have also used mobile authentication at school to log into my CSN profile. Overall, I am just trying to learn as much as I possibly can before I enter the world of marketing.
I am originally from Abilene, Texas but reside in Las Vegas, Nevada. My goals for the next 5 years are to finish my degree and work in the marketing field of business. I want to have a career that promotes a product that helps my community and ultimately the world.
Thank you for your 7 years of service, Casey :-)
ReplyDeleteI had to ask the all-knowing Goo Ghel what "MOS" stands for in the military world (Military Occupational Specialty).
I'm glad I and your other professors displayed a level of expertise you want to achieve!
Welcome to IS101-3005, Spring 2026 and may you earn MOS (Microsoft Office Specialist) certifications that will help you compete in the business world ^_^
Hi Casey, I am probably from an older generation when it comes to technology because I do not really use apps that much. I prefer using a computer instead of my phone most of the time. But unfortunately everything is moving toward mobile access now, especially with government systems like ID me and multi factor authentication. Even the IRS requires authentication apps, so I have to adapt whether I like it or not. It is interesting how something as simple as a smartphone now becomes required for basic services. I am also taking Marketing 210, so I am learning about target markets, pricing, and what features to emphasize to attract clients. It makes me think differently about how products are positioned. Technology and marketing really connect when you think about how people are pushed to adopt new tools.
ReplyDeleteHi Casey, it was interesting to read about your background and your goals in business and marketing. t’s great that you’re planning to continue your education at UNLV and work in a field where you can promote products that help your community. I also liked how you mentioned the professionalism you’ve experienced at CSN and in IS101 because that kind of environment can really motivate students to grow and do their best. I also want to thank you for your service in the U.S. Army.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your service and it's interesting that you want to pursue marketing. Both worlds of being in the military and marketing are vastly different, so your approach to it is something I am curious about. More power to your goal and the buddha background threw me off. On a glance I felt like I'm in the Paris catacombs. If not a buddha, what is it?
ReplyDeleteHello Casey, I'm curious about how you came about wanting to go to school for marketing? Also I'm glad that you've had good experiences with your professors so far. I'm not a mobile app expert, but I am familiar with how to navigate through most of them. I'm sure you'll do well in marketing.
ReplyDeleteHi Casey, it’s really impressive that you’re a 7-year Army veteran! I’m sure your dedication and experience will take you far in achieving your goals!
ReplyDeleteHi Casey. I like that you are pursuing a degree in marketing. What kinds of products will you be promoting?
ReplyDeleteHey Casey! First off thank you for your Service! Just out of curiousity what Rank did you make, I'm currently a SPC 91 Series for the NVARNG, But i got to say Cavs have a lot of fun at least from my perspective!
ReplyDeleteBest of luck with your career in marketing, I see a lot of Veteran backed products, and it's incredibly inspiring for entrepreneurs
Best,
Rafa
Casey, your transition from a seven-year military career as a Cavalry Scout to pursuing a marketing degree at CSN exemplifies a disciplined commitment to professional excellence, particularly through your recognition of how mastering mobile authentication and smartphone technology serves as a foundational bridge toward your goal of creating impactful global marketing solutions.
ReplyDeleteCasey, I appreciate you telling your story. I'm already knowing the fact you come from the Army you must have a very disciplined mindset. (Thank you for your service!) Seeing as you have already set your goals just speaks to that in general. I have no doubt you will succeed in marketing and be an absolute force!
ReplyDeleteHey Casey, hope all is well, At Ease. Just kidding, I know some members don't like to hear that but I'm glad that you know which direction you want to steer your life towards so Good Job. I have to use mobile authorization (like 2 factor authorization) it does get annoying and repetitive when I use it for work but instance when you have to sign on once I appreciate the peace of mind regarding my security. I hope the product either you make or present makes you money, you've done enough for this country and hope you get W's in the future.
ReplyDeleteHello Casey, just curious, do you prefer Nevada over Texas? I love that your ultimate goal in marketing is to help your community and the world. Good luck on your college journey and maybe I'll see you at UNLV when we transfer over!
ReplyDeleteHi Casey, thank you for your service in the Army. It’s great that you already have experience with apps and mobile authentication since those are things we use a lot in everyday technology. Good luck with your goal of finishing your degree and working in marketing.
ReplyDeleteHello Casey, thank you for your service! It's great that you are trying to learn as much as you can to prepare for your dream career, I'm sure you'd be able to learn a lot of the things you need to be more 'techy' because of IS101. Good luck with your future business degree endeavors! :)
ReplyDeleteHey Casey, thank you for your service, I was in the National Guard for 6 years as 25B IT a decade ago so it's great to see fellow servicemen going to school. Business and marketing is a great career and this IS101 class will definitely be useful, especially with the use of Excel. Have a great semester and good luck!
ReplyDeleteHello Casey, thank you for your service. It seems like you are passionate about helping those around you. I wish you the best of luck in earning your degree and achieving your goal!
