Being a part of the Small Business Development program at Access non-profit has been an incredibly rewarding experience. Working with micro-entrepreneurs and the USD School of Business MBA/PMBA graduate students program has been a highlight of my year. It's been amazing to see the unique perspectives and creativity that each person brings to the table. I feel fortunate to have the opportunity to learn from and work alongside such a talented and dedicated group of people.
I am constantly impressed by the hard work and expertise of our team, including Small Business Program Manager Julieta Gonzalez, Small Business Developer Yolanda Villa, Professor Kevin Guerrieri, and Professor Wenli Xiao from USD Mulvaney Center for Community, Awareness, and Social Action. The sheer dedication, unwavering vision, and remarkable leadership of these individuals have been nothing short of inspirational. Together we have been able to achieve amazing results and make a sustainable impact in our community.
