Some projects include Helix Cafe, Chicago Farmers Markets, the 39th Ward and Get In The Kitchen. I am currently working at Julian Plumbing and Sewer LLC as an assistant, where I gained experience with customer service and developed my communication skills.

Thinking beyond the box and focusing on the impact we want to leave behind will inspire us all to strive in life.

Hello there! I'm a rising junior at the University of Denver studying International Business at the Daniels College of Business. I am a firm believer that my purpose in life is to help others achieve their true potential and become a positive example for the community I come from.
My passions rely on diversity and inclusion, understanding the importance of mental health, and providing fun and dynamic ways to assess leadership development. As a member of the Pioneer Leadership Program at DU, I've been able to work on my leadership skills while helping my surrounding communities achieve their goals and gain positive progress. Representing my undergraduate class in DU's DE&I committee has allowed me to explore the benefits of DE&I work in everyday life and what diversity and inclusion can do for institutions, organizations, and other social groups.
Before moving, I had some time to travel the world. Now, in my list, there are 13 countries that I have visited. I always was a curious kid and, today, I am a curious adult. That's one of the reasons why I am studying Journalism. I prefer to live my life having my eyes opened. I like to explore and share useful information with others. I believe that writing can help me to reach a bigger audience. That's why I am here for you! I am also a published author. You can find my book "Love, space and something else…" on Amazon and Barnes & Noble. When I have some free time, I do freelancing, manage social media business accounts, and teach English. I guess, it is fun to know that I am also a professional dancer and sometimes give dance classes. As a content creator on Topic Insights, I am looking to satisfy our audience that has a thirst for knowledge and curiosity. I am not here to babble, but I am here to provide you with valuable information! Are You as Passionate and Crazy Enough as We Are? Check-Out Our Open Positions!

Hello everyone! My name is Lana Teramae, I'm from Hawaii, and I graduated from the University of Hawaii at Manoa in May 2021 with a major in Communication and a minor in Psychology. I got my love for writing from multiple things, but it all started during my second semester of college, when I became the secretary for the Disney Ohana Club. Sending email updates for my club made me appreciate the importance of communication through writing.
During my senior year of college, I landed an internship with Ka Leo, the student newspaper for UH Manoa. Through that experience, I learned how to work with a team, make deadlines, transition between paragraphs, and how to grab an audience's attention. I was promoted to a staff writer position during my last semester of college.
Shortly after graduation, I got an internship with Hawaii Business Magazine from June to August 2021. My favorite article that I did with them was about tattoos in the workplace. Because it's a sensitive topic, it was hard finding people to interview, but I enjoyed the challenge and hearing people's different viewpoints on the discussion.
I enjoy listening to music, watching YouTube, and writing on my blog in my free time. For my internship with Topic Insights, I'm looking forward to developing my writing skills even further and making someone's day through my articles!
