I presented to a board of Directors and was given an opportunity to expand my idea, however, as I was more inclined to focus my time on school, I kindly declined.
Since then, I have participated in many hackathons to keep the creativity and entrepreneurial spirit burning, to constantly innovate and think out of the box.
Also, I have a tiny instagram shop selling some of my semi-precious gemstones :) https://www.instagram.com/krxpire/
