Career Highlight
"Working with HBCUs and HSIs, students shared that they were craving more case workshops earlier in their matriculation and the hope that the workshops were more interactive so the concepts resonated. I worked to elevate an existing case workshop to be delivered in smaller groups. Students are tasked as being the business owner of different food trucks in order to complete the case. We then piloted the event with a group of students from a local HBCU. They loved it! They said they felt empowered and confident to tackle cases moving forward."
