About Me
MEET OUR FOUNDER
I am Megan Singleton, founder and CEO of Write Frame, LLC, also known as Aspire to Intern. I am a proud Gullah/Geechee South Carolinian and a two-time HBCU graduate of Spelman College and Savannah State University, respectively.
I have navigated STEM spaces as a black woman for over 20 years, including interning in university and government labs as a student and working for over 6 years as an Environmental Scientist for the federal government. The experience of often being the only person of color “in the room” inspired me to transition from science into education with the goal of cultivating more scientists of color.
I have served in various education roles: science teacher, STEM college recruiter/admissions, and federal education grant manager. My work has primarily focused on supporting and advocating for black, low-income, and first-generation college populations. I also have an innate ability for writing, which I have applied through editing resumes, cover letters, college essays, and everything in between for clients for over a decade.
As The Internship Coach, I aim to combine my writing acumen and STEM experiences to positively impact diversity in STEM majors and careers using internships as pathways.
The Story of Write Frame, LLC
"Well, why you gotta do it for them?", she said. "Do it for yourself!"
“I had let rejection convince me that I was somehow unqualified. Lie #1! I also believed that the only way I could do this work was to be supported by a large, prominent corporation. Lie #2! My Spelman sis, conversely, was speaking truth. If I genuinely believed in the work, why was I waiting for someone to ALLOW me to do it?”
