    Hello, I am Allia Hussain, a Junior at Raisbeck Aviation High School. My hobbies include roller skating, biking, and watching movies and T.V. shows that well accommodate my interests. I am very fond of languages. I like to learn new languages and further enhance my vocabulary in the ones I already know. I am currently on a self-discovery to fully understand where I stand as a person and how I can achieve what I want to be. I strive to be a calm, composed, hardworking, and dedicated individual.

     

    I am very humbled to have received an opportunity to be an intern at the Seattle Southside Chamber of Commerce. This will help me get closer to achieving my dreams and aspirations for the future, as well as it being my initial experience in the real world.

    Hi! My name is Blake. I am currently a junior at Raisbeck Aviation High School. My hobbies include flight simulation, computer science, and biking. I enjoy using my technology skills to connect and advocate for small businesses. I am especially interested in pursuing aviation and aerospace engineering as a potential career path here in the Pacific Northwest.

    I chose to intern at the Seattle Southside Chamber of Commerce because of the chamber’s local connections here in the Seattle area. I wanted to work with the chamber and local businesses to form relationships and assist in effectively advocating for small businesses in King County. Interning at the Chamber has allowed me to practice my people and communication skills while assisting local businesses and exposing me to our local economy.

    Hi, I’m Elliot! I am a senior at Raisbeck Aviation High School, and I plan on going to college in state next year. Outside of school, I am an avid Pokémon Trading Card Game player, which has led me to compete all around the world. I also love improv, both watching and performing. I wanted to become an intern at the chamber because I really don’t know where I want to go in life long term, and the chamber provides a ton of opportunities to learn new skills and make connections that will help me both in the short and long term. The chamber also stood out as the right place for me as I am very committed to the communities I am a part of, which is something that overlapped a lot with the values of the chamber.
