What motivates you to lead your Chapter ?
My biggest motivation is my team — Natalia Toyos , Dorothy Kaniuk , and Paulo Oliveira . I know I would never be able to rank NYC as one of the three topperforming Chapters without them . They all put in so much hard work and have endless enthusiasm .
What events and initiatives have you implemented to become a top-performing Chapter ?
In New York , we have a very hands-on approach . We do monthly meetups , recruitment and career counseling sessions , workshops for current students , and host thought leadership events . This year , we ’ ve also piloted mentoring students for an action project .
What is the most unique thing about your Chapter community ?
What are your biggest challenges ?
It can be hard to nurture and strengthen relationships between Chapter members and the
Best Chapter moment ? school when we don ’ t have a local campus , but we manage . Myself and a couple of other leaders have done lots of work on connecting chapters too . We ’ ve made some progress , but there ’ s still a gap that needs closing .
I ’ m a big fan of our community . Cultural diversity , varied business backgrounds , and entrepreneurial spirit — you can find it all here . Living in NYC , there are so many top alumni communities , but Hult ’ s diversity is unique . Our people have a very different way of looking at things .
We recently hosted Worldwide Alumni Day , and it reminded me that bringing people together to talk about business while having fun is worth every minute I spend organizing . The relationships and friendships that grow out of events such as these are definitely what keep me going .
