Making Her Mark on NYU

The Highlight Reel

The shutdown of public school cafeterias on the island precipitated a widespread food crisis among families, so I collaborated with another student on ways that the tourism industry could intercede. We ultimately developed a strategy that leveraged the island's tourism infrastructure to address the food crisis. Prof. Gaffney and Prof. Ron Castro coached us through the process of fine-tuning the strategy and then pitching it to the CEO of the Puerto Rico Tourism Company. The experience reinforced my interest in social impact and creative problem solving."
