My name is Alyssa Palecki, the Treasurer for Business Intentionally Grown, or also known as BIG. By day, I’m a banker who helps clients navigate their personal and business finances, and by night, I’m usually writing, reading, or spending time with my fiancé and our pets. I really have enjoyed being part of this group—it’s been a great way to share ideas, connect, and support each other’s goals.
