Interview with Connect-123 Intern turned Entrepreneur

We recorded an interview a while back with Connect-123 “double” intern and founder of Collegiate Mirror Skins Lee Weinberger to find out what his Cape Town and Buenos Aires internships were like, and to explore ways in which his international experience might have had an effect on his entrepreneurial endeavour. Lee is currently a senior at University of Illinios, majoring in International Business. He had a business internship in Cape Town in 2010 and then another in Buenos Aires in 2011.

So without further ado, from a noisy café in Buenos Aires:

Lee is a great example of how an international experience can shape and guide your career, not to mention your life!  It was great working with you, Lee!

Katie, a US native, had traveled to Buenos Aires on several extended trips before the city’s lure became too strong and she decided to call it home. Long fascinated by the global scene, Katie earned a degree in International Studies from Miami University and spent time studying and living in Madrid, Spain. She then worked in marketing for an international board game company followed by a brief foray as an online community editor for several websites before joining the Connect-123 team. Still a tourist at heart herself, Katie loves watching newcomers discover the charm of Buenos Aires and takes great pleasure in helping them make the most out of their work and volunteer opportunities while experiencing everything this dynamic city has to offer.
