About

Hi, I'm Orlee!

I'm a Finance & Marketing student at Washington University in St. Louis exploring the intersection of media, business, and social impact.

From my experiences solo traveling across over 10 countries, managing a film festival, and implementing sustainable business strategies within non-profits, I’ve learned that the most meaningful impact occurs right outside of our comfort zones, and I’ve made a habit of operating there.

I'm passionate about using creativity, strategy, and community-building to make an impact and I'm always excited to connect with people who believe in doing the same.
