I’m currently a sophomore at Principia College, double majoring in Business Administration (Finance Concentration) and Economics, while playing D1 Rugby. Coming from a low-income family in Argentina, my mom is a high school teacher and my dad is a volunteer firefighter. It hasn’t always been easy to find opportunities, but after doing a student exchange program at 13, my life changed, showing me that nothing is impossible with hard work and determination.As a founding member of the Investment Club and co-captain of the Rugby team, I’m passionate about helping others push past their limits and succeed in whatever they set their minds to. I love exploring how market trends and macroeconomic factors impact global transactions, and my experience starting my own business and working as a VC analyst has contributed to my interest in how innovative ideas can positively shape human behavior.I’m always eager to connect with others and share experiences, so please feel free to reach out at francisco.alessio@principia.eduTop 5 Clifton Strengths: Achiever, Activator, Focus, Learner, Significance“No matter where you come from, stay true to your 'WHY' and never stop fighting.” - Juan Francisco Alessio
