Speaking Engagements

She pitched her business in multiple business competitions, walking away with over $7,000 total to get things rolling- all while still in college. After working tirelessly to grow her business and image, she has presented for Rev: Ithaca Startup Works, judged youth entrepreneurial competitions, spoken for the American Association of University Women and was awarded a membership after giving an inspiring presentation; she has hosted cookie baking workshops, speaking about her business and mission; and it doesn’t stop there! She has many exciting upcoming events, such as presenting a case study that she wrote about her business at two teaching conferences with co-author Margaret Shackell. Via was also invited to sell and speak about her products at the Wells Fargo Women in Business event at Hudson Yards and is an honorary judge for an upcoming baking competition with a social vision. This is just the tip of the iceberg, she has much more coming and much more under her belt and she has only been a college graduate since May 2022.

Via has spoken at countless events, sharing her story of success, struggle, and her ongoing efforts to build her brand and social justice awareness within that.
