After graduating with a degree in Finance I moved to Colorado to work for Hewlett Packard, I then moved to Cleveland to work for a smaller company called Forest Corporation. In 2007, I began working on my MBA at The Ohio State University, Fisher College of Business. I will be graduating in March of 2009. In May of 2008 I co-founded and currently am CEO of International Development Collaborative (IDC). IDC is a non-profit organization focused on fostering sustainable entrepreneurial micro-enterprises in rural villages in developing countries. We are currently working with impoverished women in rural Bolivian villages to produce officially licensed collegiate products. Check out our website at www.idcvillage.org. The GLC prepared me for the challenges that lay ahead in my professional endeavors by exposing me to real world scenarios and a wide range of cultures and experiences. The GLC helped me develop a unique set of business skills that continue to serve me on an ongoing basis.
