I was born in Ethiopia; my family immigrated to the US when I was 3 years old and I was raised in Northern Virginia. I was always a good student, and ended up attended the University of Virginia, studied Cognitive Neuroscience, and minored in African and African American Studies. Also, I had a pre-med background; after I graduated I completed an internship through Harvard Medical School but ultimately decided that I did not want to become a doctor. Around the same time I was introduced to mentors who revealed to me how to develop real wealth in America. Today I work full-time as a Program Coordinator for a mental health non-profit, in governance, research and policy, but outside of that I am developing assets through social commerce and securing my financial independence.
