Hannah H. has been an intern at Economic Growth Business Incubator(EGBI) for about 5 weeks. She applied through Summer Youth Employment Program with Travis County to get this internship. Her personal interests involve business and she might be a business owner when she grows up.
Her plans after the internship is to focus on high school and getting a real job. Some experiences she learned at EGBI are how to interview people and how to write professional blogs. Her favorite activity at EGBI was the various Lunch & Learn because she got to eat good food while learning about valuable information.
The most interesting person she met at this internship was Marianne Renalds, because it was powerful that she started her business in a place where she didn’t know English. She still persevered and learned it because she’s passionate about what she does. Something she would say to someone starting out at EGBI is that everyone here is very welcoming and to not worry because you get all the help you need.
