SUMMER INTERN

Helen is passionate about transparency, accountability, and social impact—qualities she’s honed through internships in finance and policy. Currently a senior at the University of Texas at Austin, Helen is triple-majoring in Canfield Business Honors, Finance, and Government, and pursuing a Nonprofit & Social Entrepreneurship certificate with a community welfare and social justice strand. Beyond her coursework, she volunteers across campus, serves in student government, and completed an internship at the Texas State Capitol.
