Greene noted, “like everything in life, challenges are met, but for me, challenges became lessons. Juggling between school, my work and my small business has not been an easy task, mainly because I found myself multi-tasking and compromising to achieve anyway. “Adding to that, she said when she takes orders, she likes to give up her ability to her customers because she knows that a certain expectation has to be met.
