Raised in a low-income, single-parent household in Hayward, California, sparked my early understanding of financial hardship and the importance of economic empowerment.

I am motivated to use this opportunity to raise awareness and help build a supportive network that increases our representation in finance.

University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Noah is a proud Mexican-American and Morehead-Cain Scholar at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where he studies Business and Psychology. Raised in Cleveland, Ohio, Noah grew up immersed in the warmth and resilience of the Mexican community through his family’s neighborhood restaurant. From a young age, he worked alongside his Abuelo and Tio, who taught him the value of hard work, hospitality, and leading with heart. Those early experiences shaped his understanding of people, leadership, and service. Now, Noah channels those lessons into his academic and professional journey, seeking to bridge his background with bold aspirations in finance, consulting, and national security. He has represented student voices on citywide panels, traveled to conflict zones to deepen his global perspective, and continues to pursue opportunities that combine strategy, impact, and community.
