How do you navigate the business world as a female entrepreneur, especially in a male-dominated field? How do you create a business around something serious but also make it fun + approachable?
Join Us Monday February 22nd from 6pm - 8pm as we hear from three women who are not only incredible role models, but inspire girls to pursue their love of science through their own passion, positivity, and purpose!
From 6pm - 7pm, enjoy a cash bar + appetizers while you network and mingle with other young professionals. Then at 6:45pm I'll give a brief welcome before turning it over to the panelists, who will begin promptly at 7pm.
