I co-founded BHS Artisanal Woodworking with the only other female student in my Design & Engineering class, turning a class project into a sustainable student-run business. We design and sell products like cutting boards, coasters, and engraved mugs made entirely from reclaimed wood scraps, generating over $3,000 in our first year. As Business and Technical Lead, I manage operations, finances, and marketing while coding our full-stack website for online custom orders. The business now involves 15+ students, reinvests profits into the Design & Engineering program, and aims to raise $10,000 while training underclassmen to continue the venture.

Future
