KILLA

SHOES

During my undergraduate studies at Clemson University, I participated in the Spiro Institute for Entrepreneurial Leadership. This experience allowed me to step beyond my psychology coursework and immerse myself in entrepreneurship.

Through the program, I founded and managed my own brand, Killa Shoes LLC. My mission was to empower women—both in business and in the skate park—by creating a company that combined entrepreneurial leadership with a focus on inclusivity and representation. I led all aspects of the venture, from vision and branding to marketing, operations, and team management.

The Spiro Institute is still alive and well, continuing to support college students and aspiring entrepreneurs with opportunities you don’t find every day. To learn more — or to donate — check out their site.
