Last week was fantastic! I had the incredible opportunity to host my very first workshop, where I introduced an AI-driven software to a dynamic group of entrepreneurs. A huge thank you to Make Startups for joining as the guest speaker and adding tremendous value to the event.

On top of that, I had the honor of being a keynote speaker at my first speaking engagement, thanks to Combat Boots 2 The Boardroom. It was truly inspiring to speak at the graduation for their "Prosper" program.

Feeling grateful for these experiences and excited for what’s next!

I’m always mind blown when I learn more about business! Today, I learned about expansion opportunities at the Global Reach Bootcamp: Mastering Export Strategies for Beginners hosted by the UGA SBDC at Georgia Southern University.

Did you know that small businesses can export products internationally? Almost 90% of businesses that export have less than 100 employees. 🙂

At the Institute for Health Logistics & Analytics grand opening in November 2023, I was happy to be surrounded by individuals and groups working to improve health and wellness in our communities.
