Changes

From a very young age, Tiara was interested in entrepreneurship. Growing up, she would organize lemonade stands on her block and would constantly be thinking of innovative ways to improve the way people used things in their everyday lives. In the Spring of 2018, Tiara participated in the Iona Innovation Challenge, a competition that gave students the opportunity to tackle a real-world problem with a unique solution within one of three tracks: Business Venture, Social Entrepreneurship, or Technology. Out of 23 teams, she made it to top 9 where she pitched her business idea called Gooseberry, a restaurnt with healthy fast food alternatives in an allergy-friendly environment and came in 2nd place under the Business Venture Track.
