A week full of growth, leadership, and opportunity! I had the honor of introducing Lorne Novick at the Spring 2026 Ashland University Morgan Lecture. His voice on innovation and entrepreneurship was impactful and inspiring towards my passion for building and creating. I also returned for my second year volunteering at Cavs Day with Ashland University, supporting a Special Olympics event. Being part of something that brings so much joy to others is always a powerful reminder of the importance of giving back and using our time and talents to make a difference. To close out the week, my partner Samantha Miller and I competed in the Spring 2026 Idea Labs Business Competition, where we earned an honorable mention. Thank you to Thomas (Tom) Sudow, Kenneth Brubaker, and the Morgan Foundation for creating an environment that challenges us to think bigger and present our ideas. Building and developing our app throughout this process has been an incredible and great learning experience!
