I am honored to be the youngest nominee in the history of the San Fernando Valley Business Journal Women’s Leadership Symposium Award. This award recognizes the outstanding achievements of women, executives and entrepreneurs in the San Fernando Valley. As a young businesswoman, I am humbled to be included in this list. Teaching lifelong entrepreneurship skills to youth in underserved communities is one of the most valuable contributions that I can make to the community. Continuing to support youth in building thriving businesses is one of my greatest passions that will continue driving me forward.
We had a moving day at Istituto Provinciale per I’Infanzia, a foster home in Italy. The language barrier is always an element we figure out how to overcome. We work as a team within our means.
We brought supplies for making SOAR bracelets, BizSense 4 Kids items, clothes, books, and of course soccer balls. The kids went crazy with excitement once they understood what we were going to do with them.
