超越预期
Did Tammy (Clemenson) Koolbeck ’86 ever imagine she’d be driving Angeline Jolie around in a golf cart at Super Bowl XLIV?
Probably not, but she has her internship at the Brucemore estate, a cultural and historical landmark listed on the National Register of Historic Places, to thank for that experience—Brucemore and Sister Augustine.
作为一名学生，塔米设想自己在公司工作，所以当选择实习的时候，她把当地的一家公司作为她的第一选择。 However, Tammy’s instructor, Sister Mary Augustine Roth, knew better—and knew Tammy better.“Sister Augustine really did know me better than I knew myself,” said Tammy. “她没有把我安排在公司代理机构，而是把我安排在了布鲁斯莫尔，我真的相信我在那里的实习让我走上了我最终走上的道路。 我在布鲁斯莫尔的经历让我找到了其他工作。”
奥古斯丁修女真的比我更了解我自己。 她没有把我安排在公司代理机构，而是把我安排在了布鲁斯莫尔，我真的相信我在那里的实习让我走上了我最终走上的道路。 我在布鲁斯莫尔的经历让我找到了其他工作。
塔米目前是斯蒂芬斯礼堂的执行董事，负责表演艺术设施的日常管理和捐赠者关系的长期可持续性。
在加入Ames之前，Tammy曾担任VenuWorks的高级副总裁兼首席营销官、场地服务副总裁以及全国营销和销售总监。 She’s also held the roles of assistant executive director of marketing and programming, and assistant executive director for the U.S. Cellular Center (now the Alliant Energy PowerHouse), Paramount Theatre, and Cedar Rapids Ice Arena.
此外，Tammy还曾在国际董事会、委员会和组织任职，并在北美的现场娱乐和场地管理行业工作。 然而，在她充满活力的职业生涯中，她从未忘记她的第一个场地。
“When I look back, Brucemore really was the first venue I worked for,” said Tammy. “在那里工作的时候，我可以做很多事情，看到很多东西。”

当我回想起来，布鲁斯莫尔真的是我工作的第一个地方。 在那里工作的时候，我可以做很多事情，看到很多东西。
她做到了！ While preparing Brucemore to host the party of Governor Robert Ray, Iowa’s governor from 1969-1983, Tammy was called to dispose of a deceased bird that had fatally run into one of the mansion’s large windows.
“We were getting ready and really paying close attention to the details and at some point, I had to go dispose of the dead bird before Governor Ray’s party arrived,” said Tammy. “I remember thinking that this job and this field has opportunity to do lots of different things!”

Certainly, the memories and learning opportunities from her internship at Brucemore—even the unorthodox ones—have stayed with Tammy throughout her nearly 30 years in the venue management industry. The advice and mentorship from her supervisor at Brucemore, the late Peggy Whitworth ’64, is something she always carries with her.
“Sister Augustine knew how good Peggy would be for me not only as a supervisor, but also as a mentor,” said Tammy. “Peggy was my sounding board, served as a reference, and was very much involved in my life.”
Knowing the value of internships and having an inspiring mentor, a full circle moment happened when Tammy hired several Mount Mercy interns—five of whom turned into full-time hires.
Tammy’s experience as an intern shaped the trajectory of her career, and it’s a testament to her character—and the epitome of our Mercy values—that she has returned the favor.
