Leonel Lara Email & Phone Number

I am a freshman in The Gabelli School of Business at Fordham University with the intent of double majoring in Finance and Accounting. Born in New York but raised in the Dominican Republic, where the political and economic climate taught me the value of financial literacy and sparked my enthusiasm for assisting others in achieving their financial objectives. My leadership, communication, and teamwork abilities have been developed and improved as a result of my experience working in customer service and my academic background. I am eager to seize new possibilities to challenge myself and become a successful professional in the financial sector.
