Synopsis

I am a senior at Upenn on track to graduate in May 2016; I will be joining BNP Paribas,NYC as a junior consultant upon graduation.I am passionate about impact investing,constantly seeking opportunities that merge business and social impact.At Wharton,I have served on the social impact advisory board since my freshman year where I work alongside other student leaders and the Wharton administration to advocate for the inclusion of social impact within the curriculum.This Board calls upon students to be leaders in creating a lasting impact within the business realm by engaging in responsible and sustainable investment practices.I also sit as the chair for diversity and inclusion in the university council where we advise the offices of the president,provost,and the executive vice presidents on ways to develop and maintain a supportive atmosphere on campus for the inclusion and appreciation of diversity among all members of the University community.In the past,I have had internships at Ankur capital,an angel investment fund in Mumbai – India,Equity bank – Kenya and IBM – NY.I am excited about intercultural dialogue as well and believes that racial integration and understanding is the key to fostering a peaceful world.Cooking,meeting new people,reading African literature and exploring new places are just some of the hobbies that I love to explore.
