What’s a challenge you’ve faced, and how did you get through it?
After pivoting CareAcademy, we faced a lot of uncertainty and had a little cash in the bank. After a short strategy meeting, we decided that we’d pre-sell our CareAcademy classes and created a way to work with our customers to build our first eldercare classes.
What’s something you’ve done that you’re really proud of?
I am excited that we’ve been able to build a great team to not only educate caregivers but create a way for caregivers to access a career path.
What’s something that’s been on your mind this Black History Month?
I think about the ways that we create wealth and greater opportunity within our communities, and how do I use find ways to help others build their dreams.
