ABOUT ME
Hi! My name is Carolyn, and I am a senior at Pinewood School. I am a student in the Pinewood Scholars Program (PSP), a two year social entrepreneurship course. In this course, we create projects each year corresponding to our passions and interests.
I have a variety of different passions including helping others, business marketing, technology, and product design. When choosing my project, I considered these passions as well as one of my biggest passions which is dogs and raising awareness for dog adoption. This is how Doggie Dash was created!
This is me and my dog, Molly! :)
Molly is 5 year old purebread Rottweiler. My family adopted Molly when she was 2 and 1/2 years old during COVID from High Plateau Humane Society in Alturas, CA.
