Profile
Summary
The January 2010 earthquake in Haiti motivated me to return to where my family immigrated from to work diligently to help the people who were effected. After working for an NGO that I founded and making my first business investment in the country, I moved back to the states. I applied to the best school in NYC (Columbia University) and got accepted. I am studying financial economics.
