Rissy Ortiz, a U.S. Air Force Veteran, has been a business owner since 2012 and has even helped others build their own businesses from the ground up. Interested in taking her self-propelled career to the next level, she signed up for a year-long American Corporate Partners mentorship in 2023, quickly gaining a friend and confidant in her Mentor Carlandra “CT” Moss.
