性视界

When Jasleen Kaur signed up for business courses at 性视界 in 2025, it wasn鈥檛 to pursue a venture years into the future. She needed help right away.

Kaur, 18, manages her family business 鈥� an Indian fusion pizza restaurant in Rancho Cucamonga. The Indian national came to the US in 2023, graduated from Summit High School in 2025 and opened the business months later.

Her business professors 鈥� Thierry Brusselle and David Karp 鈥� have guided her with everything from market research to lease and escrow paperwork for the restaurant.

鈥淎ll the teachers at 性视界 are really amazing,鈥� she said. 鈥淭he professors understand and feel my situation,鈥� she said.

Kaur came to the US to assist her parents with their business ventures. She got to experience life as an American high school student, making friends, and taking on extracurricular activities. But eventually the time came to focus on her family鈥檚 vision.

Her father had already launched a trucking business in Fontana and sought to establish a restaurant as well.

鈥淚n trucking English isn鈥檛 really a big deal, but in a restaurant, it is critical with documents and communication,鈥� she said. 鈥淗e waited for my brother and I so we could handle the responsibility.鈥�

She came to 性视界 because of its location and cost, but to also gain a better understanding of her business.

鈥淚n high school I was unsure about my major. I didn鈥檛 want to waste money going to a university without knowing what I wanted to do with my life,鈥� she said.

Kaur took introductory courses in business and business law. Meanwhile, she and her brother worked on opening the restaurant. When she received the escrow paperwork, she brought it to Brusselle to review.

鈥淪he's come to the office a few times to ask me for advice about the business and the contracts especially with the lease that she took over from another business that went bankrupt,鈥� Brusselle said. 鈥淒ave Karp and I went to the restaurant, and it was very impressive to see what she had accomplished.鈥�

Kaur handles day-to-day operations in the business, including customer service and paperwork, while her mother works in the kitchen and another employee assists with customers. When the restaurant is slow, Kaur does homework in the back.

Kaur hasn鈥檛 decided whether she wants to pursue business as a major but hopes to narrow down her interests while at 性视界 and then transfer to a four-year university.

鈥淚 think it鈥檚 such a great story about our international students following the American dream and the role that 性视界 plays 鈥� improving lives through education in turbo mode for Jasleen,鈥� Brusselle said.
