Meet GCSEN’s 2026 Intern, Hana Heath Bouayad-Agha

"Through this internship I was not only able to gain valuable professional experience, but also got to know and understand the importance of GCSEN's work on a deeper level. It was eye-opening with regard to my future. Professor Caslin’s passion for his work at the foundation and for the goal of making the world a better place via a distinct, responsible approach to entrepreneurship, was immediately clear upon meeting him.” - Hana Heath Bouayad-Agha

As we move from Spring into Summer 2026, we wanted to highlight the efforts of a recent GCSEN collaborator, intern Hana Heath Bouayad-Agha. Hana recently helped us with several projects, including important upgrades to our website. "In April 2026 I was lucky enough to be able to work for GCSEN as an intern for a few weeks, helping to build on several projects the foundation is working on for the near future. This included working on improving and expanding the social media/digital side of GCSEN, facilitating contacts for the foundation as it works to expand its valuable work across the European continent, as well as preparing content and resources for a nascent GSCEN AI initiative!"

Even at a young age, Hana has an impressive backstory: "I am born and raised in Barcelona to a half British, half French/Algerian family. With this multicultural background I am a native speaker of French, English, Spanish and Catalan. I am a dual diploma International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) and Spanish Baccalaureate (Bachillerato) honors graduate set to pursue an MSc Biomedical Sciences degree at the University of Edinburgh starting in autumn 2026.” Wow!
