Hi everyone! My name is Marshell Kennedy and I’m an international business major with a concentration in finance and a double minor in spanish and political science attending Howard University. Outside of my academic pursuits, I am wholeheartedly dedicated to nurturing the development of others and promoting fairness in opportunities. As a first-generation student, I've encountered firsthand the hurdles and limitations many individuals confront in accessing quality education and opportunities. This personal experience fuels my passion for advocating the significance of equitable opportunities across all aspects of my endeavors.Moving forward, I aim to enhance my leadership and analytical skills to navigate the intricacies of international trade and business, all while working towards my primary goals: developing a business to help startups and establishing international trade schools. These institutions will not only prioritize academic excellence but also serve as a platform for students from diverse backgrounds to excel in the global economy. My interests span across various fields including finance, entrepreneurship, consulting, nonprofits, hospitality, and entertainment. With these diverse interests in mind, I am committed to remaining curious and seeking out challenging opportunities for personal and professional growth.
