We invite the women of Mesa to join us for this month's Women's Business Connection! 

Event Spotlight: Work Smarter- Streamlining Your Workflow with AI Panel

Artificial intelligence isn't just the future; it's a tool you can start using today to save time, simplify your workflow, and work more efficiently.

Join us for an interactive panel discussion featuring experienced AI professionals who will share practical strategies, real-world examples, and actionable tips for integrating AI into your daily operations. Whether you're looking to improve productivity, streamline repetitive tasks, enhance your marketing, or simply understand where to begin, this session is designed to help you put AI to work for your business.

Come ready with your questions. This is your opportunity to get answers from industry experts, explore real-life applications, and leave with ideas you can implement immediately regardless of your level of AI experience.

Whether you're AI-curious or already experimenting with these tools, you'll walk away with practical knowledge to help you work smarter, not harder. 

Our Panelists:

  • Lisa Mont-Ros:the co-founder and COO of Strategy Ninjas, an AI training and consulting firm based in Gilbert, Arizona. She works with service-based business owners who are ready to move beyond dabbling with AI and start using it to run leaner, smarter operations. Her approach is grounded in real business experience: before Strategy Ninjas, Lisa built and sold a seven-figure company, and she brings that operator perspective into every workshop, training, and client engagement she touches.


  • Kayla Carrizosa: Kayla Carrizosa is the founder and co-owner of Carreon Payments and an entrepreneur who uses AI daily to streamline operations, improve customer communication, automate repetitive tasks, and help small businesses work more efficiently. As a small business owner herself, Kayla focuses on making AI practical and approachable, showing business owners how they can use today’s tools to save time, stay organized, and accomplish more without needing to be a technology expert.


  • Heather Harris: Heather Harris is an entrepreneur, salon owner, business strategist, and internationally recognized speaker passionate about helping small business owners build thriving, sustainable businesses. Drawing from her experience building a successful salon, she understands the unique challenges of leading creative teams while growing a profitable business. As the founder of Spark Pro Global, Heather teaches entrepreneurs how to reclaim their time through strategic delegation, effective leadership, and scalable systems. Her expertise has taken her to stages internationally, where she equips business owners with practical strategies to lead with confidence, grow high-performing teams, and create businesses that support both profitability and personal freedom.
