Small business owner and kids’ health educator Sandra Coliny is making big waves as a finalist in the prestigious ‘Entrepreneur of Impact’ competition. This national competition celebrates leaders who are driving meaningful change in their communities, and Coliny is proudly representing the Tampa Bay area.
As the founder of HealthEd4KIDS, Coliny has dedicated her work to empowering kids to ‘Eat Well, Feel Well & Live Well’ by making better food and lifestyle choices. Her efforts have positively impacted families and kids, earning her a spot on this national stage.
“This journey has truly been about contributing to something greater than myself,” said Coliny. “Being recognized for my efforts is truly humbling and I hope it encourages others to leave a meaningful and lasting impact on the world.”
The Entrepreneur of Impact competition not only highlights innovative business practices but also shines a spotlight on leaders making real contributions to society.
