Brooke Fausey

I’m currently a General Manager with the Michigan Division of Young Entrepreneurs Across America, heading into my third year with the program. I started as a college student running a $104,000 business my first summer, and after graduating from Grand Valley State University with a Management degree, I returned full time to mentor six student interns who together produced $550,000.

This internship has had a huge impact on me. It’s pushed me out of my comfort zone, taught me how to lead and manage people, and given me real-world experience that you just can’t get in a classroom. More than anything, I’ve grown because of the culture here and the driven people I get to work with every day. I’m excited to take everything I’ve learned into this next year and keep growing alongside an incredible group of students and leaders.
