Thank you to Dr. Dan Tripp, Dr. Erica Land, and the 2023 Global Business & Entrepreneurship CAPS Associates for giving me the environment I needed to kickstart my journey, and for being the greatest choice of my developmental education. Thank you to Mr. Brad Dempsey for taking the time to mentor and inspire me during my time in CAPS. Thank you to Ms. Angel Magasano for showing me a community of elevated women who empower and support each other always, and for being an example of what a CEO should be. Thank you to Mrs. Nadine Freedline for being my very first Audacious Bliss customer, and for introducing me to DECA, which was the highlight of my senior year and showed me that I was capable of success. Thank you to my #BlissBabes for enthusiastically backing the Audacious Bliss brand from the very beginning. Thank you to Ms. MJ Barnes for being a mentor, friend, and light in my life that inspires me every day. Thank you to Orange Umbrella for being all that I dreamed and more, our community is unique and unshakeable.
