Allison Khreich
Hello, I am Allison, a student and business owner from Huntington Beach, CA. I have been a dancer all my life and have a passion for medicine. In my free time I bake, go to the beach, and play with my poodle Bentley. Through the Edison High School CIBACS program, I have started the company Crush It Cups as my Senior Capstone Project. Receiving a gift in late 2022 of a custom Starbucks Cold Cup with my name, I began to love this item for bringing iced coffee to school and the personalization of my name on the side. This heartwarming gift became something that I used in my everyday life and I thought others could enjoy a similar product. Combining my skills learned over my 4 years in the program I was able to get my company off the ground. Selling custom water bottles and cold cups required knowledge of economics, communication skills with customers, and artistic skills to design the cups. Opening in late December 2023, Crush It Cups has reached the hearts of many customers and teams. I hope to continue this business into the summer of 2023 before starting college in the fall.
Education
Clifton Dance Project
Starting from the age of 4 I have been taking dance classes from Clifton Dance Project. Not only have I been able to have an athletic afterschool activity, compete in various competitions, and perform in many shows, but made lifelong friends as well. Growing up with this tight-knit community of people has allowed me to grow not only as an artist but as a person through the mentors around me.
CIBACS at Edison High School
Signing up for classes in high school can be very intimidating from the various courses available, but the one that interested me the most was CIBACS. CIBACS is a program offered to Edison students that has a focus of business and communication while taking over your english and history classes. Not knowing much about this class I went in with little expectations. I soon grew to love the program and all the business project I participated in. Over the 4 years, I have been able to compete against others while designing products, creating marketing companies, moving companies across the world, performing an internship, mock interviews, and developing a passion for business.
University of Arizona
After applying to 19 schools in the fall of 2022, I have committed to the Univeristy of Arizona to study towards a B.S. in Biology. The Univeristy of Arizona offers a wide range of programs and courses to guide students interested in the medical field. Not only are there educational programs extensive but their althetics and school spirit is unmatched. I can not wait to become a wildcat, bear down!
