Entrepreneur, Alicia Garrigan, visited Entrepreneurial Skills students at Blackrock Further Education Institute (BFEI) last week.
Alicia is owner/ founder of GirlGottaChange! www.girlgottachange.com
She started the company at 20, at the start of the pandemic. She was still in college, working part-time and couldn’t find a planner that had exactly what she needed. So, she created an all-in-one undated alternative with little or zero waste.
Her products include; Weekly life planners, Health & Fitness planners, Academic planners to name but a few…
Today at 24, Alicia has over 45,000 customers worldwide, thanks to TikTok, Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest. Through hard work she has turned her company into a 7-figure e-Commerce brand! She now has a team of people to help run her empire!
Alicia was brilliant with the students, diligently answered every question, inspiring each student to continue on their own entrepreneurial journey.
Bringing the classroom to life like this gives BFEI students a taste for what they can achieve.
