So, the month of June is almost over, and I can’t believe it. Where has this year gone?
We officially have 6 Glamtrepreneur events under our belt, and 8 more scheduled in the coming months. It is crazy to me that this little idea I had is becoming a reality, and could potentially become my full time career. This past month has been a huge learning process for me. Not only have I learned so much more about running a business, but I feel like it has really given me a lot of confidence as a person.

While climbing her way up the ranks of Skadden, Arps, one of the most prestigious law firms in the country, Catalina realized that being a lawyer wasn’t exactly what she wanted to do.
