Sydney P. – IsraeLinks, Summer 2018

“This summer I have the privilege of interning with BitMarket, a startup in Jerusalem. BitMarket capitalizes on the rapidly growing demand for cryptocurrency by providing people with a simple way to buy and sell cryptocurrencies. I attend the University of Florida as a marketing major and I love that this internship allows me the opportunity to gain relevant work experience, managing the company’s marketing campaigns and social media platforms. My first project entailed creating a promotional video and I am currently working on a step by step visual that explains how to use BitMarket’s revolutionary Bitcoin ATM. My favorite part of the day is when my bosses teach me a new word in Hebrew; hopefully, by the end of the summer, I will be fluent! The first two weeks have been unforgettable and I am so thrilled to continue learning, growing and experiencing all that Israel has to offer. L’chaim!”
