Get Into Your Dream Colleges Building a Passion Project
My background combines both building and navigating traditional systems. Before college, I founded and scaled an education and entrepreneurship nonprofit across 9 countries. I went on to study Economics at Stanford, where I was surrounded by builders and participated in Lean Startup classes. I’ve also spoken at SXSW EDU and TEDxYouth@Seattle, worked as a Teaching Assistant for Stanford’s largest Public Speaking course, and been accepted into Wharton for Business School. Professionally, I’ve worked in Investment Banking and now in Institutional Consulting in New York. All while being the first in my family to attend a top U.S. college and break into Wall Street.
