Mentor Spotlight: Shawna Christianson
Project Owner, Vivayic

Mentor to: Grace Rokeh, Marshall High School

I chose to be a mentor because I enjoy working with young adults, specifically helping them develop lifelong skills in problem solving, critical thinking, and leadership.

I like that the CEO program provides real world experience, and allows students to see all aspects of running a business.

Thank you for working with our young professionals, Shawna!
