We're celebrating our CEO students and today's Senior Spotlight features Karen Arenas Cintora.

Karen Arenas Cintora is a senior at Kankakee High School and a proud participant in the Kankakee County CEO program. She plans to attend a four-year college to major in Business and Marketing while continuing to grow her own business.

As a dual-credit student through KHS and Kankakee Community College, Karen has balanced both high school and college coursework with determination. Reflecting on her experience in the CEO program, she shares: “I enjoyed meeting and networking with business leaders, working with my fellow entrepreneurs in the CEO class, and learning how much our community makes an effort to improve our county and our youth’s education.”

Karen leaves the program with a strong foundation in entrepreneurship and a clear vision for what comes next.
