Bio

As a student in Business Administration and Entrepreneurship, my ultimate goal in life is to empower underserved communities by creating sustainable businesses that generate opportunities, build wealth, and solve real-world problems. I aspire to become a thought leader, educator, and entrepreneur who bridges the gap between academic research and practical innovation, especially for minority-owned startups and women-led enterprises. I believe I am a strong candidate because of my resilience, vision, and deep-rooted commitment to making a positive impact. My academic journey has not been without challenges, but I’ve remained determined and focused. I bring not only a solid academic background but also real-life entrepreneurial experience and leadership in community-driven initiatives. This scholarship would not only ease the financial burden of my doctoral program but would also allow me to invest more time into research and service projects that align with my purpose. I am most passionate about using business as a tool for social change. Whether through mentoring aspiring entrepreneurs, developing inclusive business models, or launching initiatives that support economic mobility, I am driven by a vision of equity and empowerment. This passion fuels my work every day and keeps me grounded in the belief that purpose-driven businesses can transform lives and communities.

    Eitel Scholarship
    Living the life of my dreams means becoming a vessel of purpose, impact, and transformation, both in my personal life and in the communities I serve. I see myself not only as a successful businesswoman and scholar, but also as a compassionate changemaker who has used education, faith, and entrepreneurial innovation to build a life of meaning. In this dream, I am walking fully in my calling, empowering others, lifting underserved voices, and creating generational solutions through sustainable business models. With my degree in Business Administration and Entrepreneurship, I dream of launching a global business consultancy and social enterprise hub that supports minority- and women-led startups, particularly in Africa and underserved communities in the U.S. This organization will provide mentorship, training, and access to capital for entrepreneurs who have the vision but lack resources. I will use my academic expertise and real-world experience to help others avoid the obstacles I’ve faced and turn their ideas into thriving, impactful businesses. In my dream life, I am also a professor, teaching entrepreneurship, leadership, and ethics at the university level, mentoring future innovators, thinkers, and change agents. I envision myself on global platforms, speaking at conferences and writing books that inspire others to rise above limitations, embrace purpose, and build with integrity. My work will influence public policy around economic inclusion, education reform, and sustainable entrepreneurship. But my dream doesn’t stop at professional success. Personally, I envision a life that is rich in love, peace, and joy. I am a devoted wife, mother, and daughter, nurturing my family with as much intentionality as I nurture my work. My days begin with prayer and end in gratitude. I live with balance and grace, modeling to others, especially young women, that you can pursue your dreams boldly while staying grounded in faith and family. Coming from a background where opportunities were limited and financial constraints were constant, I know how valuable support can be. Scholarships like this one are not just financial aid, they are a bridge between potential and achievement. They allow students like me to focus, grow, and give back. Being selected for this scholarship would not only ease my educational burden, but it would affirm my belief that my dream is valid, and that my voice and vision matter. I am deeply passionate about education, economic empowerment, and ethical leadership. I want my life to be a testimony that with faith, resilience, and the right support, you can rise and bring others with you. The life of my dreams is not about me alone, it’s about the thousands of lives I’ll touch through the businesses I help build, the students I mentor, and the global solutions I help create. This is the future I am working for, praying for, and preparing for, and with your help, I can get one step closer.
