Tatum Kosiara moved from Valparaiso, Indiana, a short 30-minute drive southeast of Chicago, to have a fresh start at her college career. She is currently a Public Relations student at Texas State University.

Though she’s far from home she commemorates her family by going to school in Texas as they all did, and even being in the same sorority as her aunt, Delta Gamma. Her accent comes and goes as she’s been in Texas for over two years, but whenever she returns home “it’s so strong” she laughs.

Originally a fashion merchandising major, Kosiara knows her love for the beauty and makeup industry hasn’t faded and wants to pursue a PR career with a major beauty company. She even got into the Columbia Fashion program in south Chicago, but she has no plans of leaving Texas. So, after graduation, she wants to begin her PR journey at H-E-B as they have such a good reputation and quality of business and believes it to be a great start for her.

Kosiara’s main priority right now is school and focusing on her education. Whenever she’s free you can catch her studying at the school library. “When I’m not at Alkek, I’m honestly doing stuff with my sorority, like philanthropy wise”, says Kosiara. She does a lot of volunteering and helping the community while spending time with her sorority sisters.
