By Katlyn Grasso W’15, 2013-14 Neff Entrepreneurial Intern Fellow at WomenElect, Buffalo, NY
How did you find the position?
I was introduced to the founder of WomenElect in the summer of 2012 through the Buffalo Niagara Partnership. After learning about her vision for the company, I strongly identified with its mission and asked to join the team.
What was your motivation for working at a start-up this summer?
I have always pursued nontraditional internships because I like to put myself in challenging situations that foster personal growth. As a young entrepreneur, I wanted to learn how a successful business is built and apply those lessons to my own ventures.
