I have no words! 🥹 Thank you so much Kittitas County Chamber of Commerce for this amazing opportunity! Earlier this year, I registered for the Enterprise Challenge hosted by the KCCC. This program is a Kittitas County business plan competition that included ten weeks of instruction on various segments of business. There were three rounds of competition, where businesses competed based on their business pitch, a tradeshow, and a Shark Tank-style presentation. I’m beyond thankful to share that I placed 1st in this competition, receiving a grand prize of $10,000, a one-year membership to the Chamber of Commerce, and a one-year subscription to LivePlan. 🏆 For those who don’t know, I founded a boutique digital marketing agency and creative studio called Simply Social in 2023. So far I’ve worked with over one dozen local businesses, and I can’t wait to continue to grow after the Enterprise Challenge ☺️ I’d like to give special thanks to Dr. Sayantani Mukherjee and all of the other professors and coworkers I had at CWU. I couldn’t be where I am today without Central! 🐾
