Big ideas meet real-world practice! 💡This Summer, our Breakthrough U Scholars gained experience as future entrepreneurs during a Practice Pitch Day generously hosted by @PwCUS! 💼

Ahead of their Pitch Day competition at Breakthrough U (@UnivMiami), Breakthrough U Scholars presented their original business concepts through multiple rounds of pitching, receiving real-time feedback from #PwC professionals serving as judges, mentors, and coaches to help sharpen their ideas, strengthen their presentations, and build confidence to communicate their vision in professional settings.

A "breakalicious" thank you to @PwCUS for continuing to invest in Breakthrough Miami and for creating meaningful experiences that connect our Scholars with professionals, expand their career horizons, and open NEW doors of opportunity!

From leading school-year and Summer Institute programming to supporting our Scholars, Teaching Fellows, @AmeriCorps Members, Instructional Coaches, and Changemakers, Beandys has helped create an environment where our Village can learn, lead, and GROW. 💡

Beandys' thoughtful leadership, genuine care for others, and the meaningful relationships she has built have strengthened our Village for years to come. We couldn’t be more grateful to have her on our DREAM TEAM. 💙
