When it came time to decide my future career, a business degree made the most sense for me because I can combine my two passions: my business and helping others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Heroes and Tiaras can be booked for private events, but we also give back to the community by volunteering our time and donate to charitable organizations. During the COVID-19 quarantine, our performers did video chats rather than meeting children in-person, with part of the proceeds benefiting the Rescue Mission of the Mahoning Valley. We also did yard visits where the characters would stand at the end of the driveway and interact with the children &#8220;social distance style&#8221;. Part of the proceeds from the yard visits were donated to my cousin, Campbell Memorial High School assistant principal Kristin Fox, who lost both her arms and legs due to complications with influenza.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We attend charitable events like Miss Dana&#8217;s Diamonds Trunk or Treat for Autism, The Buddy Walk, and donate to Angels for Animals, the Rescue Mission of the Mahoning Valley, and many more. We also plan events for children at the Rescue Mission and bring crafts, activities, and care packages for them.\u00a0<br><br>By starting Heroes and Tiaras, I have not only found a love for business, but helping others and learning the importance of helping the community.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield Scholarship <\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I was honored to be the recipient of an <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wkbn.com\/news\/local-news\/athena-2020-scholarship-recipient-named-award-dinner-postponed\/\" target=\"_blank\">Anthem Blue Cross and Blue shield Scholarship<\/a>, presented by the Youngstown\/Warren Regional Chamber. This scholarship has already impacted me in many ways; not only will it help me further my education, it will also help others. After graduating from Youngstown State University and the WCBA with my degree in business, I plan to attend school for a doctorate in Speech Pathology. With my business\/speech pathology degrees, I hope to open a business dedicated to special needs individuals of all ages. This scholarship will help me achieve my goal more quickly since it will provide me with extra funds to open my own business.&nbsp;I am extremely excited to be studying business at YSU and the Williamson College of Business Administration!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I started my business, Heroes and Tiaras, in 2018 and manage a team who dresses up as classic superheroes and princesses to attend children&#8217;s parties and different events.
