“Being a student and insecure about my future career, I told Chris how I was hoping to land an internship somewhere after graduation, to which he responded, ‘Why an internship?’ and encouraged me to think bigger. Genesis was the place where I could meet mentors like that,” he said.Removing barriers “Thanks to the generous support of Genesis’ curated partnerships, we can help eliminate some of the most common problems that newcomers have," Aguirre Polo said.
