  • nov. de 2015 - dic. de 2015

  My first internship was at technology startup Lumkani. While the technical skills I learned were very useful for my first year of varsity, my main takeaway was the incredible amount of impact that a clever idea can have. The experience grew my interest in social entrepreneurship. My first internship was at technology startup Lumkani.
