Kaitlyn Letien
Founder & President
I am 17 years old and a junior at JSerra Catholic High School. I'm passionate about promoting business literacy among underprivileged children around the world, giving them the tools to become the entrepreneurs of tomorrow. Inspired by my love for business and jewelry making, which began with Humanity Bracelets, I created Dreams to Business to empower young minds to dream big and build brighter futures. Together, we can help kids turn their creativity into opportunity and their dreams into reality.
