Center Director/Business Advisor
(Kosrae SBDC)
Ms. Emily Sam O’Steen joined the
Kosrae SBDC as the new Business Advisor on the first week of October 2016. M. O’steen
worked for the Kosrae government as a student intern with the FSM Finance for
three months and joined the Division of Statistics as a Census Enumerator for
eight months. She also worked at the Department of Education, Kosrae State as a
classroom teacher for five years.
Ms. O’Steen left Kosrae to join
her husband who was recruited for the US Armed Forces in 2008. She was hired by
the AAFES Exchange in Fort Hood, Texas as a sales clerk. After her husband’s
medical retirement with the US Military around June 2013, Ms. O’Steen came back
with her family to Kosrae where she started working for the Kosrae State
Government.
On October 2016, Ms. O’Steen was
hired by the Kosrae SBDC as the new Business Advisor.
With the knowledge and skills
that Ms. O’Steen brought with her to the Kosrae SBDC, we are fortunate to have
such an asset to help the Kosrae small business community.
