meet our summer interns

​HANA WOYT

​Hana is from Bullard, a small town in East Texas. She has been in Houston completing her dual Master’s degree in Public Health and Social Work at University of Texas Health Science Center and University of Houston. Hana earned her Bachelor’s of Healthcare Administration from Texas State University in 2019 but continued to further her education for a more well-rounded knowledge base of healthcare, social justice and resources for the community.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Between being a full-time dual degree student, working full-time and interning part-time, Hana is also a dog mom of 2 rescue pups! She enjoys traveling, hiking and DIY projects.⁠

Hana is excited to intern with the Houston Angels because she is passionate about helping families and children in the foster care system and wants to learn more about the work of non-profit organizations.

VANESSA ZEMPEL
​
Vanessa experienced the foster care system firsthand. She entered foster care at the age of two, and was adopted just a week prior to turning four years old. She is one of six children that her parents adopted. Growing up, Vanessa’s parents were always fostering children, even after they had adopted her and her siblings. Vanessa had the privilege of helping her parents care for these children, even at such a young age.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Vanessa recently graduated from the University of Houston with her Bachelors in Psychology, and is excited to begin a career helping individuals and families.⁠⁠

She wanted to intern with Houston Angels because she believes they are doing a phenomenal job bringing awareness to those that are a part of the foster care system. She wants to be able to give back and help others just as she was able to be helped.
