The freedom to set your own rules, schedule, and create whatever you&nbsp;want has intrigued me ever since I was hired for my first job&nbsp;at 16. However, it's been something that I've always put off to the side because I didn't think I had all of the skills. Now, at the start of my fourth year in CTD, I couldn't&nbsp;have been more wrong. Having started&nbsp;my own business in May of 2020, I used so much of the knowledge&nbsp;and skills that I've acquired throughout my&nbsp;coursework. At Ferment, we strive to do as much work in-house as possible from graphic&nbsp;design to book-keeping. CTD has given me a solid foundation where&nbsp;I can expand&nbsp;on some of the coursework I've completed but also&nbsp;have the confidence and know-how to approach areas of the business that I have no expertise in. As an&nbsp;example, the presentation&nbsp;skills I've acquired have translated&nbsp;directly into making me more comfortable&nbsp;engaging&nbsp;with our customers and business partners.</em></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div>A-rising (pun intended) during the pandemic, Ferment is an artisanal sourdough bread company in Boulder co-founded by Andre Gruber, a senior in Creative Technology and Design, with Rafaelo Infante, an advertising major.
