My passion for the CEO program started when I heard about the mission. I love working with youth and helping them find their passions. I have often preached to others "Figure out what you love, and find a way to get paid for it." I am looking forward to using my knowledge and connections to build relationships and learning for the students of the Cottonwood/Jackson CEO program. I am a lifelong learner who enjoys gaining new experiences and developing my toolkit of resources. I have been working in the business world for as long as I can remember; as my parents were business owners and many dinners around the table included business talk. I enjoy seeing the idea phase through development and look forward to the opportunity to work with the students this year on their ideas.
