Name:<\/strong>\u00a0Morgan Takae Smith
\nAge:<\/strong>\u00a0 17
\nOccupation:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0Intern at Audible
\nHometown:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0Newark, NJ
\nSchool:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0Science Park High School
\nGrade:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a012th grade<\/p>\n

If someone would have told Morgan Takae Smith as a child that she would be one of the faces of a major technology company, she wouldn\u2019t have believed them. A girl once bullied over her acne, Smith is now an intern at Audible and is featured in their local ad campaign.<\/p>\n

Newark-based Audible is a subsidiary of Amazon and is the largest audiobook producer in the country. Smith is one of 70 Newark high school students who participate in the company\u2019s year-round internship program.<\/p>\n

The internship has gotten Smith model-ready and exposed her to corporate life. Prior to beginning her internship, Smith was set on a career as a makeup artist.<\/p>\n

\u201cAudible exposed me to things I wasn\u2019t exposed to before in business,\u201d she said. \u201cI always thought business was super boring and wasn\u2019t anything enjoyable.\u201d But through her internship, Smith was able to see what goes on behind the scenes with large projects and the hard work that goes into them. She has assisted with projects like Audible\u2019s website, Audible Range, and others.<\/p>\n

Smith grew up in the Ivy Hill section of Newark. After graduating high school in 2019, she hopes to attend Howard University and major in marketing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
