I started out with an engineering degree, but along the way I discovered my true passion: education, and creating spaces where young people can learn, play, and grow.

That’s what OWN Inspiration Camp: Winter is all about – giving you the space to discover yourself, practice networking, and learn how relationships open doors. It’s fun, supportive, and designed to help you build confidence and friendships that last.”
