Hello!

My name is Gia Woodfolk, and I am a Strategic Communications Intern here at The DeBruce Foundation. I am also a junior at the University of Missouri!

The start of a new school year brings excitement, changes, opportunities, and growth. It can often feel overwhelming as we begin new classes and meet new people. And of course, with school comes homework, projects, and sometimes, a little bit of stress! I am a full-time student, double majoring, while also working as an intern, so it is critically important that I utilize my Agilities to make sure I stay on top of my work both in and outside of the classroom.

One of my top Agilities is Organizing. From creating a daily to-do list in my planner to carving out time for evening networking and career growth opportunities, I am constantly using my Organizing Agility to ensure I set myself up for success in my professional, academic, and personal life.

I encourage each of you to get to know your Agilities and leverage them to help you become the best version of yourself this year!

More than a summer internship

“ProX Summer is a great gateway to try new things and new experiences. It’s a good way to enter the field and see what you can learn. I gained a lot of valuable experience, especially for someone at my age, and that was a great opportunity.» — Amina, Académie Lafayette freshman

This summer, more than 600 high school students participated in internships with more than 125 employers in the Kansas City area. Read more about ProX, and stay tuned for more outcomes and impact from the program!
