Passionate About:

I’m passionate about traveling and meeting new people. I love learning about cultures and traditions that differ from mine. I find adapting traditions and incorporating them into my life to be extremely enriching.
I’ve learned to respect foreign cultures and beliefs. I’ve traveled to many places and learned a lot from people I would have never imagined meeting. I’m grateful that I had the opportunity to do explore a little bit of the world, it was a humbling experience and I feel like its time to give back. I am excited to volunteer my time to the development of Global Brigades at the University of Utah and I’ve even more excited help out in Honduras. I was born in Argentina and my family has faced struggles similar to the ones the people of Honduras are currently facing. I hope that my knowledge will be useful and that I can positively impact the lives of people in many ways.

About Us

Global Brigades at the University of Utah offers a 10 day Business and Microfinance Brigade in March to Honduras. Business Brigades volunteers empowers rural communities in Honduras without access to financial services and business guidance by providing micro-enterprise counseling, financial planning assistance and strategic investment. During the brigade, volunteers divide into small groups to conduct client visits in which they get to know the client and assess each client’s level of financial competency, entrepreneurial aspirations, and/or business knowledge. Volunteers then provide educational and capacity building assistance in the form of workshops. Topics range from personal finance to basic accounting and business planning.
