SPARK Episode 17

Today, we got to speak with the Co-Founder of Energy Terminal, Hope Pratt! Hope is a senior at Duke University studying Electrical and Computer Engineering and Computer Science, but her passions lie within sustainability and energy. Hope tells us about how she first got her start in energy working for Aspire Power Solutions, a Nigerian energy company, and how this led her to realizing the amount of potential within the industry. She then went on to intern at Ford Motor Company and Everbright, a NextEra subsidiary, and she’ll be continuing at Everbright post-grad as a Software Engineer. Aside from talking about Hope’s work experiences, we also discuss the founding of Energy Terminal and how she and Michael grew it from a podcast with 0 episodes to the community, career, and media organization that it is today. We finish the episode by hearing the advice Hope has for other students about forging your own path, talking to people, and more!
