Mrs. Jeana Surena-Dorival has achieved a milestone, graduating with a Master’s degree in Business Administration.
As the owner and founder of Tiny Hands, Mrs. Surena-Dorival reflects on her journey with gratitude and pride—not only for her academic achievement but also for the growth of the business she passionately built.
Tiny Hands began with a simple idea and has developed into a thriving brand offering quality haircare products and services that empower individuals to embrace their natural beauty. Her MBA programme played an instrumental role in shaping her vision and equipping her with the skills needed to elevate the business.
Her decision to pursue a master’s degree was inspired by her desire to strengthen Tiny Hands. As the company opened its shop and expanded its product line, she recognized the need for a deeper understanding of business management, marketing strategies and customer engagement.
The business has since rebranded its towels and caps, enhanced its product offerings and developed a dedicated team. Tiny Hands has achieved excellent customer-retention rates, received positive Google reviews and celebrated the success of its bestselling red onion oil.
While pursuing her studies, Mrs. Surena-Dorival’s daughter was also completing her own academic journey. Through late nights and demanding coursework, they supported and encouraged each other to achieve their goals. Her daughter also graduated, demonstrating the power of shared ambition, perseverance and resilience.
The knowledge and resources gained through the MBA programme have contributed significantly to Mrs. Surena-Dorival’s personal development and the growth of Tiny Hands. The business transitioned from an idea into a company generating recurring revenue. She also learned how to analyze market trends, improve operational efficiency and build lasting relationships with clients.
However, the journey was not without challenges. Mrs. Surena-Dorival balanced late nights at the salon with online classes, readings, research and assignments. At times, she had to ask clients for breaks and adjust products in response to customer feedback and emerging trends.
She also endured personal challenges, including the loss of her mother and the responsibility of travelling to Dominica while mentoring meetings were scheduled. Delays in production and shipping products to the United Kingdom created further setbacks.
Despite these obstacles, Mrs. Surena-Dorival remained committed to her vision. She came to build, win and prosper. Every challenge strengthened her resilience and determination while reinforcing her belief that obstacles can be transformed into opportunities.
As she celebrates this achievement, Mrs. Surena-Dorival confidently declares to the world: “Watch me! This is just the beginning.”
She encourages others to pursue their dreams and achieve whatever their minds can believe. In her words, distractions are not barriers; they can become stepping stones to even greater heights.
