Bio

I'm a first generation student who has built resilience, diligence, and compassion from my unique upbringing. I come from a family of war refugees and have grown up in a single-parent home in a high crime rate community. From these experiences, I've learned how to take up any opportunities that may scare me. I graduated UC Berkeley with a BS in Business Administration with a Certificate in Technology Entrepreneurship. I am currently pursuing my MBA at University of Pennsylvania - The Wharton School. My long term goal is to build a socially minded business that empowers the underprivileged in my communities.
