Title: Principal
Business Started: 11/2008
Graduated from Morgan: 1993
Services received from EDAC: I've attended numerous
workshops at EDAC including a Quickbooks seminar, where I met
my CPA. In addition, I've had the opportunity to participate in
several conferences including the W.O.M.E.N. Conferences and Moms As Entrepreneurs
Conference. EDAC has also sponsored, provided resources and participated in two
conferences sponsored by my firm: the Maryland Military & Veteran Women Business
Conference (2014, 2015) and UNiCOMM 2013. The participation by EDAC in these two events
gave credibility to the conferences.
Value of EDAC to your business: EDAC has been a huge part of the growth of my firm in
providing resources (met my CPA at a workshop) and exposing DPN Group to networking
opportunities and other essential resources.
The importance of alumni giving back: Giving back allows alumni to build relationships that
may become long-term and lead to other opportunities to serve the community.
