Her Story
About Ruth
Ruth huaraya owns and operates a minimarket in Boston, Massachusetts, where she sells natural and healthy products such as healthy cookies and butters. After graduating with a technical degree in accounting in her native Peru, she discovered a passion for commerce and sales while working in offices, internships, and supermarkets. She launched her business around 2020 or 2021 amid the pandemic, initially selling products on the street before opening a physical store. Ruth credits her success to her strong work ethic and dedication, which began in childhood as she assisted her mother, who traveled selling goods in the highlands of Peru where communication was limited. She values good presentation in all her endeavors, a lesson from a professor, and sees great opportunity in the growing demand for healthy products, which aligns with her personal commitment to health. Her goals include fully dedicating herself to her business, expanding it, and eventually creating a chain of stores to provide employment opportunities for others.
Her Interview
Ten minutes with Ruth
01What do you attribute your success to?
I attribute my success to being a hard worker and dedicated since I was very young, helping my mom sell products. We are from the highlands of Peru where communication was limited, and my mom traveled selling products. This motivated me to work, study, and now help my family and dream of giving jobs to others.
02What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
The best advice I received was from a professor in the institute who talked about entrepreneurship and said that whatever you are going to do or present must have a very good presentation.
03What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
The opportunity I see is that many people are opting for healthy products and taking care of their health. Health is very important to me personally and I like to recommend healthy products to people.
