My time with Digital Human Library (dHL) through Riipen Level Up was a great experience! I loved working on a project that blended education, technology, and innovation meaningfully. Leigh is an incredible individual – her passion for making knowledge more accessible is very inspiring. Throughout the internship, I felt supported and encouraged, and Leigh made it clear that she was always accessible. Now, I'm walking away with a fresh perspective on how digital tools can reshape learning. I’m so grateful for the experience and highly recommend it to anyone looking to explore the education sector and content creation through a mixed lens. Thank you, Leigh and my fellow interns, for such a rewarding and inspiring journey! I look forward to seeing what the future brings to dHL.

Leigh is on a mission to empower and digitize access to information and experiences for all ages! While it might sound simple as sharing a photo or a video. The platform that she has bult (and continues to build) is a complex machine that fosters an environment of creativity, and fuels the hunger humans of all ages have when it comes to learning. Being a part of this opportunity to create marketing materials to help engage and make more people aware of DHL has been truly amazing!
