I was born in Santa Monica, California, and lived and attended school in San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato Mexico from
age two until moving to Austin in 2010 (age 10). As a senior at Austin High School, Ive completed an NLSC business and
entrepreneurship program at Yale and served as a research analyst intern for The Womens Bakery, a social enterprise
that develops women-owned businesses in Kigali, Rwandaspending almost a month in South Africa, Rwanda, and
Uganda at age 16. (I sourced this internship directly as it was not part of a third-party service). Ive volunteered
extensively for a homeless organization in Austin throughout high school, am well traveled, and am fluent in Spanish. My
intent is to attend business school and focus on the nexus of design and conscious capitalism.
