"The great thing about having your own business: you are allowed to change and to grow."

Last week, we had the pleasure of visiting Steph Zimmerman Photography at her studio for some real talk. She shared her story with the students - from starting out in a job that she didn't truly enjoy, to grad school, to starting her photography business on the side, to eventually leaving a desk job to focus on her personal business full time.

More than a decade later, Steph has learned a lot about herself, the value of her work, and what it takes to be successful at her dream. It hasn't always been easy. She shares a realistic view of business ownership with our team each year, and continues to serve as a mentor with the program. We are so grateful to have her involvement with our young entrepreneurs!
