Mariane Puertollano: Teen of the Week! Mariane Puertollano, a McCracken County High School senior, is Murray State’s Teen of the Week! With a perfect 4.0+ GPA, she’s not just a top student, but also co-president of the FBLA club, a performer in the drama club, a talented photographer, and part of the Mustang media team. Mariane’s entrepreneurial spirit shines through her journey with Roblox, where she learned valuable business skills by creating her own virtual store. Inspired to pursue a degree in economics, she dreams of opening her own business one day! Her advice to fellow students? "Don’t be afraid to take a leap of faith!" We are so proud of Mariane and can't wait to see what she accomplishes next! #McCrackenProud Read her Paducah Sun article here: https://www.paducahsun.com/news/for-mccrackens-puertollano-roblox-shop-leads-to-entrepreneurial-dreams/article_e8283a56-c93b-5644-9c23-e31efa2485ed.html
