I am currently a sophomore at Baruch College and I intend to major in finance. My plans for the future are grand! I plan to graduate from Baruch with my Bachelor’s degree in finance, and from there continue my education at University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School. I would like to obtain my Master’s degree in Finance. By attaining this degree I will be further immersing myself into the field of finance, allowing me to further my chances of becoming successful in this field. Although I plan on pursuing  a career in finance, I also plan to use my success to help others. I plan to do this by starting two non for profit organizations. The goal of these organizations would be to work towards empowering minorities living in high drug infested neighborhoods, to realize their potential and then strive towards reaching that potential. I have already decided the names of both along with their missions: W.E.E.D.S. (We Each Enjoy Doing Something), and DREAM (Dedication Readiness Education Awareness Motivation).

What I hope to gain from NYNY is a foundation. I believe that in life we have to have a plan and set goals for ourselves to succeed. I also know that it is imperative to have a good start, a good support system, along with like-minded and positive people all working toward a common goal. I feel that for me NYNY is the perfect platform to do this. From NYNY I hope to gain a respectable and solid path towards my success and future. I would like to have a better understanding of myself and what I would like to pursue in my career in specifically. I am confident that I will get these things from NYNY, and for that I am grateful.
