How do your colleagues describe you?
Wendi has a positive spirit and is a cheerleader for those around her.
Why do you do what you do?
I love to help, encourage and celebrate the successes of my fellow community members. As a child from a small business family I saw the struggles that a small rural agricultural business had while starting up. I am happy to be working with SBDC to make sure others don’t have as many road blocks to their success. I want to help make a difference in our community.
