The Butler Summer Venture Program supports the most promising graduate and undergraduate entrepreneurs from Babson, Olin College of Engineering, and Wellesley College. Up to 15 teams are chosen to participate in the program each summer. Teams receive housing, work space, advisors, a speaker series, and other resources to help them and their businesses develop throughout the 10 weeks.
I am part of Babson's Career Advising Team and have the amazing opportunity to work with Babson undergrads -- the most creative, insightful young people you will ever meet -- passionate and determined to create social and economic value in careers that are just right for them. In addition to providing general career advising to all Babson students, I work closely with undergrads focused on Accounting and Entrepreneurial Careers. Outside of Babson, I am immersed in the joys of raising two young daughters with my husband Dan. As a native Mainer, I enjoy time in the woods, on lakes, and in my garden. I am very involved in our community supporting education, children, and the arts.
