Toni LaBarbara
Founder of The Social Mobility Journal, Impact Entrepreneur, Quant Researcher
Childhood poverty and homeless were not just obstacles in my life, they are my motivation to build a secure future for my community. A world with intense wealth disparity is simply unsustainable. I am dedicated to uplifting the stories of resilience and wisdom that individuals who have survived poverty wish to share. Together, we can trailblaze a safer tomorrow.
Cultural Immersion: blogs from abroad!
As a self-taught polyglot (English, Spanish, Italian, Russian, Portuguese), I value challenging my brain with new thoughts and frameworks. Immersing myself in different cultures and building international partnerships has strengthened my leadership skills by providing insight on global social issues. The critical thinking required to develop my intercultural communication skills have enhanced my education in data science and engineering.
