Eileen Wu is a rising junior in High School. At school she enjoys being a part of the Band as a clarinet player and section leader! In her free time, she likes riding her bike and drawing. She doesn’t really know what she wants to do in the future, but something to make an impact on people’s lives and be able to travel with her family and friends all over the world.
What is a fun fact about you?
My favorite foods are watermelon and tomato and egg noodles. I have a four year old cactus named Eve.
How did you first get involved with EGBI?
I didn’t know about the internship programs that assign students to EGBI, so I was looking for business related non profits and then just applied through EGBI’a website.
Why do you intern for EGBI?
Because I am uncertain about what I want to do in the future, I decided experiencing the everyday activities of running a business at EGBI would help me figure out if this was really something I wanted to do. EGBI’s services and mission align with my own interests in business and supporting local businesses. I enjoy knowing that the work I do here could help aspiring business owners reach their dreams.
How has your experience with EGBI helped you grow professionally and personally?
I haven’t really been at EGBI for that long, so I haven’t gathered many experiences, but I have been able to observe all the aspects of running a small business, and the resources available to help. Personally, I’ve met a lot of really cool people and learned about their journeys, which has really broadened up my perspective about my future. I hope I continue to contribute here and do what I can to help clients, as well as learn more everyday!
