"Hi! I’m twenty-one years old and in my fourth year at the University of Virginia. In between school and navigating college life, I manage the online jewelry business I started when I was sixteen. What began as a $25 investment at my local craft store has turned into a top-performing Etsy shop with more than $200,000 in profit."
