There is so much negativity today in the news and everywhere we look that it is always nice when we can pause to recognize good things that are happening in our community. I would like to take the opportunity to use this blog to highlight some of the positive events that are happening in Central Ohio.
We live in a world where technology is advancing very rapidly and it is nice to know there are people out in Central Ohio who are using it for the greater good. This month, I learned of a very unique software company based out of Central Ohio called Pufferfish Software. Pufferfish designs tablet and smartphone applications targeted towards children with autism spectrum disorder or other special needs. Equally as impressive, though, is that the CEO of Pufferfish is a 17-year-old senior in high school, Megan Holstein. Megan has taken the concept of mobile applications and applied it to doing good things for those who need it. Because of Megan’s hard work and innovative mind, children with special needs have a fun, interactive, and easy-to-use way to learn and practice things like emotions and social cues. I believe it is important to recognize people for exceeding expectations and making a difference, which is why I have chosen Megan’s story for this month’s blog. When it comes to helping others, even the most experienced and accomplished executives have a lot to learn from this 17-year-old CEO. You can read more about Megan’s company by CLICKING HERE. |
