ANNA-MARIE WATSON

Anna-Marie didn’t realize when she and her friends started making and selling bracelets that she was on her way to entrepreneurial success. But that’s just what happened. As their small business grew, her school suggested she legitimize her business through Junior Achievement’s Company Program. Over two years, she served as the lead of the supply chain team for the bracelet company, Done Beautifully, led the marketing team for the slime business, and co-led the supply chain team for the Cereal Candle Company, which won third place at the JA Company Program Regional Competition in 2025. Using the skills she learned from JA, Anna started her own mail-order chocolate cookie company, A&M Cookies. A creative and positive leader, she is also a gifted coder who has already secured a place in Mercy High School’s Women in Technology program as a freshman.

“Anna-Marie is a highly motivated and innovative student who approaches every challenge with energy and determination.” —Melinda Johnson, faculty, Mercy High School
