Global Challenge: UN GOAL #10: Reduced Inequalities

Embracing my role as a GLASS student, I believe that by sharing the knowledge I am acquiring, I can contribute to reducing inequalities within our community. Education is the key to empowering individuals and fostering social inclusion."

Bio:

Hey! My name is Ashley and I'm a current junior undergraduate at NYU Tandon studying Business and Technology Management. I have lived in Queens, New York my whole life. Being able to grow up in a dynamic borough has exposed me to so many cultures and perspectives, fostering a deep appreciation for diversity.  

As a dedicated member of the Opportunities Program and GLASS Program at NYU, I've had the privilege of shaping my educational journey with all the support I could ask for. Inspired by the community I grew up in, it has shaped my worldview. I am determined to bridge the realms of Business and Technology to foster financial literacy. 

In the heart of my academic journey, I see an opportunity to create initiatives that empower low-income communities with the knowledge and tools necessary to navigate the financial landscape. I aim to reduce inequalities and providing everyone, regardless of their socio-economic background, with the means to understand and manage their finances effectively.
