Garrett Hansen
Senior- Finance with a
Marketing minor
I was born and raised in Hyde Park,
Utah. I am currently I a senior at Utah
State University, majoring in Finance and minoring in marketing. In 2011 I was married to my beautiful wife,
Zandra Hansen. I enjoy playing music,
singing, oil painting, mountain biking, skiing, riding my motorcycle, and
spending time with my wife, family, and friends.
I wanted to participate in the SEED
internship because I feel it offers a great opportunity to put to practice all
I have learned while at USU. I feel that
this internship will truly be able to make a real impact in my life as well as
in the lives of the people I will get to work with.
JD Borg
Senior – Finance and
Economics
My name is
Joseph Dale Borg, but all my life I have gone by JD. I always say I am from
Richfield, Utah, but I am really from the small town of Sigurd just outside of
Richfield. I am a senior at Utah State studying finance and economics with a
goal of becoming an actuary when I graduate. I love Aggie athletics and the
Utah Jazz, and I love to play racquetball and volleyball. I am also a member of
the USU percussion ensemble.
I wanted to participate in the SEED
program because of my involvement in the Huntsman School of Business’ Go Global
program. In preparation for our trip to South America, we read the book Banker to the Poor by Muhammad Yunus,
which piqued my interest about microlending. I was excited about the small
involvement of our program with the SEED program in Peru, and I jumped on the
opportunity to travel to Ghana for a full internship.
Allan Follett
Senior – Finance with a
MIS minor
Allan Follett
is a transfer student from University of Texas in Arlington. Currently he is a senior with his major being
Finance with a minor in MIS. In his
spare time he plays EVE Online where he finds USU’s Finance program with its
emphasis on economics give him an advantage over other players in the game.
Allan has
always found the concept of microloans to be fascinating and the chance to see
people in all phases of a microloan was too good of an opportunity to pass up.
Beverly Jensen
Junior – Business Administration
My degree is
in Business Administration and I am a Jr at Utah State University,
Huntsman School of Business. I am returning to school after raising most
of my children, I am a mother of 8, 7 sons and 1 daughter. I wanted to
participate in the SEED program and go to Ghana because I have been a
single mother in poverty in the US. I was able to climb out and
reestablish myself in the community with the help of my church, community and government.
I would like to
give back, by teaching others about self-sufficiency. I also want to
better understand the basic concepts of the business principles that I
have been taught in school, by seeing them in action. I have owned
several businesses and been in sales, including 6 years as a realtor.
I have enjoyed success and also learned from my failures.
My goal is to own my own successful business again, and I
believe that my experiences with Wasatch Social Ventures will help me to
obtain all of these goals.
