STUDENT STORY
Preparing for
a global career

Chyna Probert
American
Class of 2020
Chyna is a transfer student majoring in Management.
She is making the most of the network both at Hult
and in the city of San Francisco and looking forward
to making more connections on campus.
How are you interacting with local businesses?
Located in the heart of San Francisco, we can take
advantage of the business environment in the Silicon
Valley area. Hult has enabled me to interact with
CEOs of neighboring companies, share my ideas,
and receive feedback from experts in their field.
How are you sourcing internships?
One evening I met a CEO of a startup company at
the Bay Club near campus. I asked him if he had any
internships available for the summer, and I recently
applied for a Business Development internship at his
company. That was the night I knew I made the right
decision in coming to Hult.
How are you getting closer to your goals?
Hult has taught me to dream big and think outside the
box to become an entrepreneur. It’s also teaching me
lifelong skills in being able to communicate cross-
culturally in an international business environment.
EXPERT ADVICE
Securing an internship
The best way to find an internship is not to find one at all, but to create one.
Many successful students design their own internship opportunities by
researching startups and directly contacting CEOs. Always lead with the
unique value you can offer the company. This could be industry knowledge,
geographic knowledge, or language skills, just to name a few.
