I have seen many colleagues burnout within two years of working for large nonprofits because of high stress, cold systems, lack of appreciation, and bad managers. Despite their passion for the people they serve, these forces were strong enough to quench that spirit.

This past summer I interned at Community Empowerment Solutions where I worked as a consultant for entrepreneurs in Ecuador. During this internship, I managed a team of interns solving problems facing entrepreneurs which included: looking for funding, improving customer support, and refining marketing campaigns. I lead my team to create efficient solutions to these problems while taking into consideration obstacles like limited internet connection, illiteracy, low-income, cultural and language barriers. Inspired by the impact students could make in Latin America, a group of interns and I formed Pakta Consulting; a pro-bon consulting group that seeks to match college students to Latin American entrepreneurs.

The social venture to be created aims to help reduce recidivism rates within the Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ) through the implementation of sports along with education and job readiness programs.

This is that the social venture is unique by providing these individuals a backup plan if athletic careers do not surpass high school. It will help connect the juveniles with athletic programs and workplaces willing to accept their criminal

Social entrepreneurship is gaining such strong interest in nonprofit world because of the economic challenges that have plagued this sector with cuts in philanthropic and government funding. According to Nash (2010) not only are there cuts, there are many organizations vying for the limited funding.

A personal mission statement is a philosophy or creed that one plans to follow in daily life. It is usually designed with positivity, purpose, and with personal goals for every aspect of life such as career, finances, etc. It also focuses on personality traits that one would like to possess and the accomplishments that one wants to achieve, both short-term and long term.

Growing up in a business-oriented household consisted of being exposed to, and witnessing talks of business management — be it at in-house parties or out at dinners — from a very young age, which I believe has impacted my upbringing and passions to a great extent. Along with a substantial inclination towards Business Management, I also had a keen interest in the field of Accounting, which I became more aware of at the age of around nine. Most kids resent going to the bank with their fathers, however, for me, it was always a source of amusement and gratification. As a child, I would witness my father give cash to the banker and/or vice versa, which would leave me to ponder about what exactly was going on. This eagerness to have the know-how of money and what goes behind it made me discover my true passion.
