Selchia Cain-Hinton, 2019, master’s in journalism and mass communication
People experience Lead for LATAM, John Deere
Selchia Cain-Hinton began her career in communications, leveraging her background in journalism and mass communication to evolve into a global human resources leader. Her journey is proof that careers are rarely linear, and detours can often be the most rewarding part.
Currently, as the People Experience Lead for LATAM at John Deere, she transforms good employee experiences into great ones, prioritizing employee engagement, retention and career growth.
Balancing her role at Deere, Cain-Hinton has recently reactivated her traditional communication skills as a LinkedIn corporate creator, sharing career development content to help others build successful careers they love.
Cain-Hinton is a two-time expat having lived in both China and Brazil. She is also a wife, mom, proud member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., and co-founder of the Iowa Black Doula Collective. But, faith, family and community is what keeps her grounded.
These awards, which were established in collaboration with the Greenlee School Advisory Council, provide avenues for mid- and early-career recognition of Greenlee School alumni. They build upon the school’s longstanding James W. Schwartz Award, the highest award conferred by the school that has traditionally served as a lifetime achievement recognition, and mirror university and college awards for similar achievements.
The recipients of the alumni awards will be recognized at the spring 2025 Greenlee School Honors and Awards Banquet on April 24.
Nominations will be accepted for the 2026 awards starting in this fall.
