My goal is to embark on a journey of innovation and creativity while expanding my knowledge in entrepreneurship and marketing. I want to open my mind to new experiences and use what I learn to help communities in need and make a positive impact in the industry. Building meaningful relationships is also important to me—connecting with others who share my passions and values. A big part of this journey is developing resilience; I know challenges and setbacks will come, but I want to embrace them as opportunities to grow. By nurturing my resilience, I hope to face the ups and downs of entrepreneurship with confidence and determination.
