I was invited to speak to about 20 junior and senior students at City Honors School in Buffalo by Emily Frischholz who teaches a Business & Management course. They are currently learning about different types of organizations, which many students are extremely intrigued and interested in possible start ups. This is a brand new program at the school this year. The teacher's goal is to incorporate the community and provide students with real-world applications as much as possible.
I did a "Starting Business Fundamentals" presentation while sharing my personal business experience, and explained how SCORE helps businesses. The students were very engaged and asked questions. I inspired them to believe that business ownership is attainable with the right knowledge and resources.
The Small Business Development Center at Buffalo State College asked me to do a marketing presentation for their INC.ubator series. I shared some tips with the students who were participating in the NY State Business Plan competition .
