Natalie Tradeau would personally like to thank the Women in Business Program for selecting me to to receive their scholarship in 2012. "This scholarship has not only helped me pay for books (a major expense that tends to be overlooked) but it has given me a connection to the community. With my background in childcare and preschool teaching, getting connected with the Women in Business, gave the opportunity to get employment at the Paso Robles Children's Museum in the summer before attending school. Not only did this scholarship pay for my educational supplies and books, but it gave me work experience and more financial support". Thank you for generous support". Natalie Tradeau
