I am the Providence Center Director for RI Small Business Development Center. I love working with businesses around me and being able to see the economic growth of the city by assisting the entrepreneurial community and business owners with their needs. The Providence Center and all other offices of RI SBDC are a welcome facility for entrepreneurs of all stages to obtain business counseling at no cost. It’s been excellent to see so many of our clients start a large variety of businesses that are flourishing throughout the state and be proud that RI SBDC was able to assist them in this process.
