Michelle Proksa, SCORE Business Mentor

“As a SCORE Peoria mentor, I enjoy working with entrepreneurs around the US.  In
many sessions, I am reminded of my own grueling days and nights during the
startup period and later as my partner and I planned the succession of our
business. As a LiveChat volunteer, I continuously learn from our visitors’
questions, tapping into SCORE’s vast expertise.  Collaborating to serve SCORE
clients, both as a member of my chapter and on LiveChat, aligns perfectly with
my own values and the SCORE mission.”
