Terri grew up in the Midwest but 30 years ago, met and married her husband Joe, who is a Montana native. They moved to Bozeman in 2012 with their 2 kids, Mikayla and Patrick. Terri started working at Career Concepts January 2014 and quickly discovered it fulfilled her passion for helping people. She and her husband purchased Career Concepts in July 2016 and she continues to expand her services to help the community residents and businesses develop and succeed. When she’s not connecting people with local businesses, Terri enjoys spending time with her family (especially her adorable grandchildren!), being involved with her church and crafting!
Courtney was born in Billings and spent a portion of her childhood in Seattle before her family moved back to Montana. She has called Bozeman her home ever since. When Courtney isn’t at work you can find her fly fishing, hiking, or skiing! She is passionate about coffee so if you bring up different roasters, single origins, or brewing methods you could get her talking for hours. Courtney has gained experience through working for multiple companies in the community in various industries. She finds joy when given the opportunity to use her creativity to problem solve. She joined Career Concepts in August 2021 and by thinking outside of the box, she helps employers find the perfect people for their team and helps candidates find positions they’re ecstatic about.
After growing up in Helena, Kelsey graduated from Montana State University in 2019 with a Bachelor’s in English Literature with an emphasis on writing. Through her time working with various Montana communities, she has developed a passion for helping each individual find a career that makes them excited to go to work. When not at work, Kelsey enjoys visiting local coffee shops, spending time with family, and hiking around Bozeman with her pup, Hamilton. Kelsey’s goal is for everyone who encounters Career Concepts to feel heard, valued, and confident in their next steps.
Mikayla grew up all over the US. She met her husband in Kentucky but quickly realized Montana is home and they relocated to Bozeman. She started with Career Concepts in 2015 and has helped expand and develop the Career Concepts we know now since Terri took it over in 2016. She is attending MSU to earn her degree in Accounting. When she’s not working or doing school work, Mikayla enjoys spending time with her family and keeping up with her energetic 5-year old boy and an adorable 1-year-old girl. Mikayla is as passionate as her mother Terri is, about making Career Concepts a top-of-mind presence.
