Stephany Ayestas

I recently graduated from Harding University with a degree in Finance, Marketing and International Business. But I am passionate about the development of people, education, entrepreneurship, leadership, and democracy. While I was in college I was vice president and president of a service project that helps mentally challenged adults and kids in Honduras. Moreover for a year I was the international representative in the student association. During my first two years of college I belonged to the Entrepreneurs in Action (ENACTUS) competition team. I participated at the Harvard College Initiative for Latin America Relations as a delegate, and also was invited to attend the National Prayer and Breakfast with the president of the United States of America and members of the congress. In my senior year in college I was awarded the College of Business Outstanding Christian Student of the year. Now that I am back in Nicaragua I work at OOQIA a young company dedicated to provide software development services. On Sundays I volunteer teaching English to kids and adolescent in my community. Furthermore, with some partners we are working on the creation of a online platform to sell cultural craft from Latin America in order to help artisans in the region reach other markets. What I truly believe in is that we came to this world with a greater purpose than ourselves, and that we are equipped with talents for that purpose, we need need to spread this idea to other people. My heart feel the greatest when I see people helping others.
