Hey, everyone!  Welcome back to another episode of Leaving The Nest.  I’m your host, Kathleen Pellegrino from ROCS Grad Staffing. Our mission is to help you find a job out of college and thrive in the real world.   Today, we are so lucky to have with us Stephanie Zimmermann who is a local business leader here in the Northern Virginia area.  She went to George Mason and is still really involved with the university today. She’s a council member for the Center of Innovation and Entrepreneurship program at the School of Business and an Advisory Board Member for the Women In Business Initiative.  She started her own company and is heavily involved with the local chamber.  On top of all that, she’s also a mother of two! I could go on—Stephanie really has done it all! I’m so thankful that she has taken the time to sit down with all of us to share her story and advice for new entrepreneurs.  Enjoy my conversation with Stephanie! And don’t forget to leave us a review wherever you are listening and to share this episode with others you know who are just starting out in their careers.  Enjoy!
