WIF is pleased to welcome its 10th Anniversary Celebration intern!
Janjay Gardea is a curious and creative thinker passionate about innovation, storytelling, and purposeful design. As a senior undergraduate studying International Business and Business Management, with minors in Social Entrepreneurship and Community Leadership & Engagement, she is currently spending a semester in Paris exploring fashion design and brand management while preparing for an MBA.
Janjay serves as the Executive Director of her nonprofit, Future Change Foundation, and values growth, legacy, and the ability to build lasting impact. Her experiences span mentorship, marketing, organizational strategy, and storytelling—offering her a multidimensional perspective that blends structure with imagination.
Whether she’s guiding students, shaping brand concepts, or leading change, Janjay thrives where creativity meets purpose. She is deeply motivated by the belief that thoughtful design—of systems, ideas, or experiences—can uplift communities and reimagine what’s possible.
During the summer and autumn of 2025, Janjay will support the planning for WIF’s 10th anniversary celebration events in Houston, TX and Paris, France as well as the ongoing celebration of the anniversary beginning in October 2025. This will include supporting the needs of WIF’s founder & CEO.
