Intern at Lundquist

LEAD Internship

The skills I learned through LEAD Workshops helped me stand out in my internship and college applications. My internship experience not only gave me the passion for neuroscience but also gave me a glimpse into the future I want to create.

Intern at SDVerse

LEAD Internship

Before the program, I was nervous about speaking in front of people. At the end of the program, I presented my experience to SDVerse CEO and a room of 50+ senior executives - and crushed it! I feel ready for anything.

Built AI Study Buddy

AI Entrepreneurship

I went from 'I could never build an app' to launching one that my classmates actually use - in just four weeks. The AI tools we learned changed how I see my own potential. My college counselor said it's the best thing on my application.

Built College App Tracker

AI Entrepreneurship

I built College App Tracker to solve my own problem - managing all my college deadlines and essays was a nightmare. Now my friends are using it too. I never thought I could build something people actually want to use.
