Sarah Peterson ’10
Partner marketing and operations manager at Google
Sarah planned to become an English teacher until professors helped her see strengths in leadership and strategy. That guidance led her to organizational communication and marketing, shaping a career that now includes leading national retail campaigns at Google and mentoring Bethel students. “The reason I changed majors to organizational communications and marketing was solely because a professor in each area pulled me aside and recommended shifting my focus.”
Adam Bricker ’25
Content and media coordinator for Identity Sports
Adam arrived at Bethel focused on pursuing Division I hockey later, but that path unexpectedly changed. Mentorship from his coach reshaped how he defined success, leading him to invest in athletic ministry through a podcast and campus worship movement for student-athletes. “This place will change you if you let it,” he says. “And that’s what I did. I let it change me.”
Natalie Hedberg GS’21
Special Agent for the FBI MBA
Balancing nursing with graduate school, Natalie developed the discipline and clarity needed for high-pressure work. Her MBA capstone sharpened how she leads and solves complex problems—skills she now uses investigating healthcare fraud with the FBI.
Matt Therrien ’07
Head of channel innovation and vice president of sales at Medtronic
Matt has led major business decisions at Medtronic while staying grounded in a leadership approach shaped by faith. He believes strong leadership means treating people with respect, speaking truth with love, and weighing the effect each decision has on employees’ lives. “Learning how to be an upstanding man is the most important thing,” he says. “Do that and everything else will take care of itself.”
Chelsey Falzone ’14
Manager of youth engagement for the Minnesota Twins
A trip to Myanmar with Bethel softball reshaped how Chelsey saw service and storytelling. That perspective carried into her senior internship and now into her work with the Minnesota Twins, where she leads youth programs, community initiatives, and scholarship efforts. “Bethel attracts good people and makes good people,” she says.
