But after cutting her teeth at several money-making initiatives, including the selling of accessorised crocs and, later, making jewellery, the then-15-year-old entrepreneur was bitten by the business bug. Three years later, the 18-year-old Ardenne High student’s biggest problem was making a pick from the 10 universities that offered her scholarships to study business. But in the end, Webb turned down Howard University in the United States and Nova Scotia University in Canada, among others, for The University of the West Indies, Mona, one of the 12 schools to which she had applied.
