Los Angeles based CAREER EXPERT, INTERNSHIP EXPERT, CEO/FOUNDER, AUTHOR, ENTREPRENEUR, & SPEAKER
Over 100 USC students and Fashion Board members came to hear from Lauren Berger and learn about interviewing, resumes and ultimately, how to land their dream internship, maybe even two! Berger also brought copies of her best selling book Get It Together; Ditch the Chaos, Do the Work, Design Your Success to give away to a few lucky students. Students were then able to network with Berger after her keynote.
"BERGER IS A CHAMPION FOR YOUNG AMBITIOUS PEOPLE FIGHTING THEIR WAY TO THE TOP. YEARS AGO, SHE WAS ONE OF THEM. TODAY, SHE’S THEIR HERO."
