Hello! My name is Ryan. I studied economics and international business at Gonzaga University in Washington state, interned in South Africa and Washington D.C., was a Peace Corps volunteer in the Dominican Republic, and won a Fulbright grant to go to Mexico. I am about to begin an MBA program at Vanderbilt University. I recognize how fortunate I've been to have these opportunities, but I also know that they exist for anyone dedicated enough to pursue them. I am passionate in helping spark the inspiration to do something amazing and help cultivate it. I am fluent in Spanish (and extremely familiar with all of the various colloquialisms that exist in various countries), extremely passionate about history and Latin American culture, and well-versed in economics and business.

Traveling, hiking, reading, salsa/bachata dancing, cooking (homemade salsa!), skiing, gym.
