heryl Engstrom DECA Coach

Cheryl Engstrom

cheryl.engstrom@bellevuecollege.edu

Cheryl joined the Bellevue College team with the hopes of finding a way to contribute to a new generation of marketers. Little did she know that she would jump in with both feet through DECA. She puts her 30 years of marketing for advertising agencies and major Pacific NW companies to work to help Bellevue DECA’s team win state and national championships. Her work for Nordstrom and Eddie Bauer as well as The Bellevue Collection over the years has her firmly rooted in fashion and branded products. Her toughest gig was working on the island of Kauai as the Director of PR for the island’s first “mega-resort,” The Westin Kauai, where she worked with journalists from around the globe. She now runs her own agency, Engstrom Marketing.

For fun, Cheryl does bare-bow archery, rides a Suzuki Bergman 400cc scooter, bakes way too many goodies, plays guitar, and spends summer weekends at her beach property in Grayland, Washington boogie boarding the waves. Cheryl also enjoys jumping off tall ladders.
