Get to Know Celeste Laske – Senior Account Coordinator

Q: Share a bit about your education and career experiences:

A: I went to St. Thomas University and got my degree in Business Administration.  I was also lucky enough to study abroad in Rome for a semester which was an incredible experience.  I have had a broad range of jobs that have included working at a nonprofit, being a flight attendant, working at Glacier National Park, and living in Paris, France for a year and a half as an au pair. 

Q: Tell us a little about your family:

A: My family is very important to me and I’m grateful to be blessed with amazing parents and two sisters who I am very close with.  I also recently got a mini Australian Shepherd named Dolly who has brought a lot of joy and laughter into my life.

Q: Tell us about the work you do at HTA:

A: I am the Senior Account Coordinator at Houck and my job revolves around creating a positive transit advertising experience for our clients.  I have the pleasure of working closely with our operations and sales teams to ensure that every campaign runs smoothly and that our clients are happy with the results.

Q: What are your interests outside of work?

A: One of my favorite things to do is travel.  I have been lucky enough to travel around Europe a lot and have had many fun adventures.  I also love the outdoors.  I have been to several national parks around the US and aim to go to all of them.  I enjoy hiking and going on a camping trip to Isle Royale National Park with my dad and sister every year.  I love taking my dog, Dolly, on walks around Minneapolis and finding new restaurants.  My family also has a cabin in Wisconsin that we love to spend the summer at.  As much as I love being active, I also love nights in watching movies and bingeing shows with friends.

Q: What have you found to be your favorite experience at Houck Transit Advertising so far?

A: My favorite thing about working at Houck is the people!  From the day I began over two years ago I have always felt welcome and valued.  My coworkers help to create such a positive environment that makes it a joy to come into the office.  Our team birthday lunches and our yearly MN State Fair outing stand out as some of my favorite memories.
