Mommy and Me: The Listers

This really means so much to me. 💜
What started as a response to a hard season for families became a calling I couldn’t ignore, and SCORE has walked alongside me every step of the way. As a first-generation entrepreneur, having mentors who believed in me, asked the right questions, and helped me turn ideas into a sustainable business changed everything.

I’m beyond grateful for the guidance, encouragement, and community SCORE continues to provide. Because of that support, I’m able to reach more families, spark confidence in kids, and show them that STEM is for them.

Thank you for pouring into me and so many other small business owners. 🚀
