🎓 Officially a Graduate of the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses program 🥂
I’m proud to share that I have officially completed the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses Program through Cuyahoga Community College.
This has been a long and rewarding journey over the last few months. There were plenty of hours spent learning, working on the business, challenging my thinking, and figuring out how to take Pristine Steam Wash to the next level.
One of the greatest parts of this experience has been the connections I’ve made with other entrepreneurs. We came from different industries and backgrounds, but we shared many of the same challenges, goals, and determination to grow. We learned from one another, shared our experiences, exchanged ideas, and built relationships that I hope continue well beyond graduation.
I’m incredibly thankful to the faculty, staff, instructors, and everyone involved with the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses Program who took the time to teach us, challenge us, and invest in our development as business owners and leaders.

I’m also grateful to have received special recognition from Congresswoman Shontel Brown for completing the program, as well as a Certificate of Special Congressional Recognition from Congresswoman Emilia Sykes in recognition of receiving the 2026 Minority Business Award. These recognitions mean a great deal to me and serve as another reminder of how far this journey has come.
But graduation isn’t the finish line.
It’s time to take everything I’ve learned and put it to work.
I’m excited about what’s ahead for Pristine Steam Wash, the relationships we’re continuing to build, and the opportunities to grow our impact throughout the community.
Thank you to everyone who has been a part of this journey. 🙏🏾
On to the next chapter!
