Entrepreneur Spotlight
"I believed that there were only traditional routes to go through, whether that was being a doctor, being a lawyer, or being an engineer, but echo allowed me to see that there was more, and that I could even create my own path in life. Echo opened doors for me if I wanted to walk through them.
As teens, we believe that we have no power in our hands, because we're at such a vulnerable age where we don't really have a lot of resources. But I think echo taught me that even the small differences, like the Teens Tackle Hunger campaign, we do have the power to affect change step by step."
- Michelle Ramirez, echo alum, Harvard freshman
