New Venture Lab has given me the opportunity grow as a professional, take on challenges I otherwise would not have been exposed to, and apply my coursework to real world situations. I have seen firsthand the immense value NVL brings both to student teams and to Spokane's startup community. Working with a wide range of businesses and professionals has not only honed my leadership abilities but also equipped me to strategically apply these experiences to my career path.
