Client Case Study

William S.

Helping William Build a Foundation for a Legal and Sociological Career

EchoStream partnered with William, a high school student passionate about law and sociology, to help them merge these interests into a cohesive vision for their future career. Understanding their ambition, we designed a tailored plan to strengthen their subject matter knowledge in both fields and elevate their profile and experiences.


We secured William a bespoke internship in the legal department of a major company, leveraging our network to place them in a program typically reserved for college students. There, reporting to the Chief Legal Officer, they gained firsthand exposure to corporate law and honed their analytical skills, distinguishing themselves among their peers.


To deepen their academic foundation, well beyond high school classes, we helped them identify and enroll  in college-level courses on international law, the U.S. justice system, and a credit-bearing sociology course at a top university, which they completed with high marks and further fueled their interest in these subjects. These courses expanded their knowledge, curiosity, and confidence, preparing them for future academic pursuits.


Recognizing thelr strong voice and insights on social issues affecting Gen Zers such as themself, we helped William ideate, craft, write, and pitch op/eds to leading media outlets. They did successfully publish their first article in a major outlet. We guided William through the editing and publishing process, and also helped them strategize on how to become more closely engaged with that publication and, with our guidance, they were invited to become a regular contributor, publishing one article per month. William also was invited to become an Editorial Board Member of one division of that media outlet, further bolstering the credentials of a young yet high-aspiring high school student.


We helped Rebecca further channel her interests into researching and writing a sociology book targeted to Gen Z audiences, which was successfully published and has received highly positive reviews for its accessible insights.


Additionally, we helped Rebecca augment her already meaningful accomplishments by identifying organizations, projects, and causes she could align herself with to both deepen her subject matter knowledge and gain hands-on experience with.


Congratulations, Rebecca! You did it!
