Hi there! My name is Anna, I’m a current E6 and Fellow on the Teaching Team. I started the Entrepreneurship minor with many passions in mind; dance, education, business, and Girl Scouts are just a few. My current venture, Delivered & Done, creates care packages for college students. Overall, my favorite part of entrepreneurship has been the inspirational classmates I’m surrounded by.

My name is Schantell Hummel, and I am the Program and Events Coordinator for the Bellingham Regional Chamber of Commerce. I’m passionate about creating enjoyable and inclusive events and programs that bring the community together. I graduated from Western Washington University in June 2021 with a degree in Business Management and a minor in Entrepreneurship and Innovation.

I also am the co-owner of Essence Creative, a creative agency that combines content creation and social media management for startups and small businesses. I greatly appreciate and love the Entrepreneurship and Innovation program. I’m honored to be able to teach students and help coach them through their ventures and passions. I never thought I would become a business owner at such a young age. However, this program helped me learn and apply skills directly to my goals and passions. This Fall quarter I hope to support and coach students to create an event they are proud of.

Fellow
My name is Tara Boyd, and I will be graduating Western Washington University with an Interdisciplinary Studies major, a minor in Entrepreneurship and Innovation, and a minor in Audio Technology, Music, & Society in the spring of 2022. I graduated from the Entrepreneurship and Innovation Minor in the spring of 2020, and since then, I have been working on my own personal and professional development using tools I learned as a student in the program.
My Interdisciplinary Studies degree allows me to explore my passion for the entrepreneurial lifestyle in the context of ecological systems and holistic nutrition. I study this in hopes that I can help people build healthier relationships with themselves, their food, and Earth.
I have taken a leadership role within the program as a Fellow and have the honor of passing down my knowledge of venture creation and self-development to students.
