William H. Santostefano-Smith Email & Phone Number

I am currently enrolled at Columbia University, where I am pursuing my MS in Sustainability Management. This comes after having attained my MA in Ethics & Society and a BS in Finance at the University of Fordham. In addition to my studies, I work for a small fashion consultancy called KFR Studio, where we assist small, environmentally-conscious brands in their first few steps in the industry. My interests extend beyond fashion and into the realms of philosophy and I intend on eventually pursuing my Ph. D., likely in Differential Henology.
