Success is sweet when baker becomes bakery owner

Catalina Jimenez had no baking or management experience when she was hired at Lake Chelan Artisan Bakery, but she was a fast learner. When the owner decided to sell 5 years later, she told Catalina, "If we can make this work, I want you to have it." Catalina, an immigrant from Mexico, had few assets and no idea what to do. With SBDC assistance, she figured it out, got a loan from a regional nonprofit CDFI and bought the business. "This is for you," she tells her kids. "It's for your future."
