Toyna J. Chin, 
Former Southern NH University Undergraduate and Entrepreneur
As an undergraduate at SNHU Toyna J. Chin was struck by what seemed a lack of thought that went into feminine care products. To her, the one-flow-fits-all approach was downright medieval. This prompted Toyna to brainstorm some fresh new product concepts as a class project that she believed could take the feminine care category from boring fact-o-life, to how-cool-is-that.
She even pitched her ideas to some of America’s top feminine hygiene brands, only to be turned away. Never one to be discouraged by a silly rejection letter, the dismissive missives were more motivating force than setback to Toyna.
Then one day, armed with a decade+ working with Fortune 500 companies, Toyna focused her proven entrepreneurial and executive talents on making her dream come true. Enter, Hygeia Personal Care Products, Inc. and the Petite Amie and Jolie Mama brands.
As the former President of Hygeia, she changed the way girls and young women think about and manage their menstrual cycles, their bodies and puberty by creating an aspirational brand experience. She even reached out to the bewildered Mom’s and health educators of hormonal teens providing advice and information resources they could trust.
She’s now turning her efforts as an advisor to the Center for Women's Business Advancement to help other students and female entrepreneurs with all of the vital tools that are needed to make their dreams a success too.
