Yesterday, I had the chance to be a Networking Mentor at the first Newport News Public Schools Young Entrepreneurs Summit — and it was such a great experience! These students came ready with big ideas, great questions, and so much passion. It was awesome getting to connect with them and share a little bit of my journey while cheering them on in theirs. Shoutout to NNPS for putting together such a powerful event. The future is in good hands! #YoungEntrepreneurs #NNPS #MentorMoments #FutureBosses
