JACKSONVILLE, FL, May 12, 2025 /24-7PressRelease/ -- First Coast Home Pros supports future business leaders through its Young Entrepreneur Scholarship. Addison Wood was selected to receive the $2,500 award. She stood out for her clear business vision, strong commitment to education, and passion for helping people with food allergies live safer lives.

Addison Wood has been awarded the First Coast Home Pros Young Entrepreneur Scholarship for her standout business idea: Alchemy Bakery, a bakery for people with food allergies. Inspired by her own experience living with a severe peanut allergy, Addison's concept is about solving a problem she knows firsthand.

Her personal story, paired with a clear and thoughtful business plan, impressed the judges with its authenticity, innovation, and purpose. Alchemy would offer baked goods free of the nine most common food allergens. Addison's vision is a powerful example of turning challenges into meaningful changes.

Addison Wood, the 2024 First Coast Home Pros Young Entrepreneur Scholarship winner, is wrapping up her first year at Purdue University as an Engineering major. She plans to focus on Civil Engineering with a concentration in Transportation and Infrastructure Systems, driven by a strong interest in how modern technologies like automated vehicles impact roads and traffic.

Beyond academics, Addison is actively involved in campus life, supporting Make-A-Wish through Chi Omega and raising funds for the Andrea Rizzo Foundation as part of Higher Ground Dance Company. A lifelong dancer and volunteer, she also helps with her family's business and enjoys working with kids through camps and babysitting.

Addison credits her parents as her biggest inspiration and hopes to follow in their entrepreneurial footsteps. She plans to intern during college, work in the engineering field after graduation, and eventually earn her MBA to start her own business. With help from the scholarship, she feels motivated to stay on track and is excited about the new opportunities it brings.

Addison Wood's determination, creativity, and strong work ethic will lead to lasting success in both her career and personal life.
