Girls With Impact
During the eight-week mini-MBA program geared towards setting the stage for success for future businesswomen, I learned how to make a comprehensive business plan for the betterment of mental health in schools using a model canvas, SWOT analyses, customer personas, spreadsheets, and more. I also made a pitch presentation about my business venture, Slimes Helping Minds, and I was one of four graduates chosen to present my pitch to over three hundred graduates and their families. Overall, I was able to transform Puppi Slimes into a social enterprise and received a certificate of recognition alongside a total of thirty-five volunteer hours for my efforts.
