• Business and Entrepreneurship Team Advisor NSLC Yale

  • May 2022 - Aug 2022

  The National Student Leadership Conference is a fantastic opportunity where high school students nominated by their peers to attend a 9-day long program focusing on a specific field of interest. As my position of Team Advisor, I actively mentored and taught the students about the field of Business and Entrepreneurship while at Yale University in New Haven, CT for the summer. Through this position, I was able to develop my leadership, management, organization, and personal skills through various job responsibilities as well as go outside of my comfort zone. Show less
