I had just gotten into a car, in a foreign country, with two strangers. As the car slowed down, I looked out of the window. I saw a run down house surrounded by barbed wire. I thought to myself: “this can not be where I am spending the next two weeks of my life.”  My new host dad and I went through three gates leading to the house and we finally reached the front door. It opened up to a...

After my fascinating lecture in Professor Mark Clark’s course on effective management techniques, I rush towards the Metro and get to the hill as fast as possible. This is where Congressman Salud Carbajal’s office is, a place I have come to love since working for his campaign in high school. There, I am eager to implement my learnings into getting gun control legislation passed. I feel pride as I talk with the movers and shakers, as I utilize...

When I first learned that my sister was diagnosed with Asperger’s, I felt a sense of closure and relief. Her instances of not being empathetic and loving were not because of a cold heart, it was because of the way she was wired at birth. When I went onto the tennis court helping Special Olympians, I kept in mind my sister’s condition. I never understood her character, but now I had a newfound love and pride for my...

I have been passionate about sales and its processes since obtaining my first internship during sophomore year.

I became eager to someday work in sales and take a lead role...

I like to work with the movers and the shakers, and hopefully one day be one. Working for Congressman Elect Salud Carbajal has shown me how I can combine my passions of both business and politics into a successful career. What initially intrigued me about Stern is its stress on social impact. It is incredibly vital that I pursue an undergraduate institution that stresses giving back to others. I believe in giving back to one’s community and am always...
