What is your story?

To this point I have pictured life as only black and white (right and wrong) However, I have learned to add some color into my life and to think outside of the box. It is okay to fail and to quit. Previously I viewed failures as a negative but now I can view it as a positive light in my life and an opportunity to learn from them. Currently I have changed my major and I am now seeing different opportunities and goals in life.

What is your business?

I don't have a specific business plan yet. My passion is to start a business where I can help people and businesses plan their special events. I have always had a desire to use my creativity to work with people to form an event they will always cherish!

What advice would you give to a student starting their entrepreneurial journey?

I would tell them to step off the side lines and get into the game. When standing on the sidelines you are just a bystander. You watch the game of life instead of playing the game. Get up and get into the action. Go for your dream and get the goal that you have always envisioned.
