Maya L.

Future Career Goals:
After graduating from Mercer University in December 2025 with a major in Entrepreneurship and a minor in Marketing, I plan to begin my career in management consulting in Atlanta. This role will provide me with valuable experience in business strategy, problem-solving, and operations, which will serve as a foundation for my long-term entrepreneurial goals.

Entrepreneurial Aspirations:
My ultimate goal is to transition from management consulting into full-time entrepreneurship. I am the founder of Heavenly Influenced, a Christian clothing brand, and I plan to expand it into a larger brand in the future. Through strategic growth initiatives, innovative marketing, and brand development, I aspire to create a business that not only thrives in the fashion industry but also makes a meaningful impact on communities.
