(KXII) - Women in business and aspiring entrepreneurs gathered Thursday for a morning of networking and professional development at the annual Women in Entrepreneurship Conference.

Southeastern Oklahoma State University, First United Bank and Choctaw Nation Small Business Development partnered to host the event, which offered practical insights into entrepreneurship.

For Southeastern student Preslee Harrell, the conference was a chance to learn from women who have already started their journeys."I'm super ambitious as a young woman, and I hope to be in one of these roles one day," Harrell said.
