After raising money for an epilepsy foundation she fell in love with community service and served as a VP for Wisconsin DECA. This path lead her to business competitions and brought out the idea for ExpressionMed. Since launching she has won over 5 competitions and been featured in over 7 magazines and news broadcasts. She can’t wait to continue her education and teach young entrepreneurs how to follow their own passions and build companies that change the world.</span></span></span>
