Anna Mendelson

I'm a freshman in the Gies College of Business at UIUC planning on declaring finance and entrepreneurship.

I own VibrantGuide.com - an online magazine that focuses on lifestyle topics such as cooking, beauty, healthy living, fitness and productivity tips. I’ve collaborated with dozens of brands on my social media and website. I’ve partnered with Raptive to sell advertising space on my website.

Throughout high school I've been taking numerous business electives and have been actively involved in DECA business club, where I was VP of Membership my senior year. I have won a business incubator scholarship (INCubatorEDU) for the business idea pitch in my business incubator class (Junior year of High School). I volunteered with North Chicago community partners in mentoring underprivileged youth. I also enjoy fitness and am part of Ichaarg.
