This sparked her to launch Fulphil to inspire area youth to give back to their communities through business.
She says social impact starts at a young age, which is why the company targets young students.
Before the pandemic, Fulphil ran in-person programming at high schools.

Fulphil now provides a fully online social entrepreneurship curriculum.
The nonprofit has expanded its courses to focus more on hot topics like sustainability, diversity, and inclusion.
Fulphil, which has four employees, often gets help from college students on a volunteer basis.
Yau said shes lucky to have such a strong team that has been able to transition to remote work.
“For us, its so important that we develop really strong communication with our teachers.”
The company has also soft-launched an online community to allow students to connect virtually and discuss their entrepreneurial ideas.
She said this has been a challenge for her as shes grown her venture.
“But I also wish it didnt have to be like that.”
Right now, the nonprofit is in conversations to reach at least 20 schools this year.
“We attempt to redefine that by showing that you might do that in your own community.”
