LaRoya Allen has been interested in marketing and entrepreneurship most of her life, launching her first business enterprise while still in elementary school.

This month, she graduated from the UofL College of Business with a bachelor’s degree in marketing, a minor in entrepreneurship and a certificate in sales. She overcame many obstacles and encourages anyone struggling to get help and push through.
