WALL OF LOVE: ALUMNI TESTIMONIALS

Emilia Rizzuto from All Things Elderberry

“I learned so much about running a business and being a CEO. We covered helpful digital tools that I didn’t even know existed. It’s also great to have a group that’s learning and growing together. We all talked about things we have tried and loved or hated along the way. Amazing networking opportunities as well. Glad I took the time to do this class.”
