Last night I stepped out solo to attend the 2026 UWM Alumni Awards Evening, and it was such a meaningful night celebrating excellence across the Panther community 💛🖤

As a proud board member of the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee Alumni Association, it was an honor to be in the room recognizing alumni and partners who continue to lead, serve, and make impact.

A special shout-out to the GOLD Award recipients—Carrie Mahone and my sorority sister Oby Nwabuzor—who have already accomplished so much in their first decade out of school. So proud to witness your continued growth and success.

UWM is truly filled with incredible people, and nights like this are a reminder of the power of community and leadership. 💫

Grateful to have supported 14th Annual MKE Business Now Entrepreneurship Summit by facilitating a short workshop on practical technology tools for small businesses.

The session, Tech That Pays, focused on how everyday tech—financial tools, communication platforms, and simple systems—can help entrepreneurs work more efficiently and make informed decisions at their current stage of business.

I also want to honor Akuwa, who was a steady connector and supporter of this summit and so many community efforts. She often worked behind the scenes to make sure others had what they needed to succeed. Her presence and impact will truly be missed.
