Elise Korte

Marketing, Communications, and Advertising (MCA)

Elise Korte earned her Master of Arts from the Marketing, Communications, and Advertising program through the College of Journalism at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in December 2008. Upon graduation, she entered into the advertising sales field as a Marketing Consultant for KOLN/KGIN Television. Elise also received her Bachelor of Journalism from the College of Journalism in 2007. While earning her undergraduate degree, Elise worked at the Daily Nebraskan campus newspaper in the advertising department and developed a love for sales. Her career goal included obtaining a job in advertising sales and that is exactly what she accomplished. Developing relationships with clients and helping businesses grow are the reasons why she is excited to be in this field. One of her other passions includes singing; she's currently in a local rock/dance cover band but she also enjoys singing for fun, karaoke, or at weddings. Elise tried out for American Idol, however, did not receive a golden ticket. She says that will not stop her from singing. "My love for singing will never be changed by American Idol. I'll continue to sing at my shows and it might even make you want to dance!"
