My name is Richelle Spiel, my pronouns are she/her, and I am excited for the opportunity to be an intern at one of Ada's partner companies. My passion for joining the tech industry come from my desire to find more creative and challenging work opportunities and my love for finding and using new technology to solve everyday problems.
Before Ada, I was working as an Account Manager at a manufacturing company that printed children's books. The factory was based in China, allowing me to learn about manufacturing, international shipping logistics, managing production schedules, purchase orders and other deatils. I have also worked in Edcuation, as a teacher, and in finance within the Investment Industry. Each of my variety of work exeperiences has taught me something new and what I have learned from them all is that I love learning, building, problem solving and working collaboratively with people.
In my free time I love to spend time with my pets (a dog and 2 cats) and have volunteered fostering cats and dogs over the years.
