About me / About business or organisation:
I am a graduate student at The New School in New York City earning a Masters of Science in Management and Urban Policy, focusing on sustainable management and corporate social responsibility. I am passionate about using business as a platform of change: challenging the status quo and incorporating the "triple bottom line" into work and academics.

My grandmother was a seamstress and a milliner her whole life and a union member in the original NYC Garment district, which has inspired me to work in fashion- not to mention that I admire beauty and art, which is what fashion stands for.

With the turbulent times that the world is facing- from water scarcity to poverty to climate change- sustainable business and cross-collaboration between sectors is a necessity. I wish to be apart of a positive movement in this ever-changing world that we live in.

My mantra: Change starts from within.

I love love traveling and experiencing different cultures, foods, styles, and music. Any opportunity I have to go abroad, I will be there!
