Claudia graduated from Harvard College in History of Science with a minor in Global Health & Health Policy . Claudia lived primarily in Ecuador for the first three years of her life and goes back every summer. She grew up cognizant that through no fault of their own much of the world lacks many of the basic necessities she took for granted. Consequently, her professional goals involve combining the spheres of business and health to cause the largest impact possible. Claudia directed Refresh Bolivia for 5 years, starting in her freshmen year. She has experience conducting healthcare systems and management work in 9 different countries and was the project leader for our integrated healthcare center. She is currently at Columbia Medical School where she is primarily engaged in quality improvement research to decrease hospital errors and improve health systems. She also serves as a social impact consultant - advising projects that range from family owned business striving to increase their social impact to biomedical device start ups.
