Kaila is a Senior Financial Services Consultant working in New York City. She joined the Vacorps program in January 2020 and participated in a business internship at an organization that empowers and supports women entrepreneurs.
“I think that VACorps provides great in-country support, and the orientation was great. I am very grateful to VACorps for connecting me with my internship site. I had the opportunity to work with such an inspiring group of people throughout the past few months. They welcomed me as part of the team and I feel like I was able to make a strong contribution to the organization. I had the absolute best time exploring Cape Town – it is truly a one of a kind city. I will miss the hikes, sunsets, markets, and the list goes on.”
