I grew up here and attended [[File:ClaudiaJester.jpg|thumb|ClaudiaJester.jpg]]Oakland Catholic Highschool. I am currently a junior in the College of Business Administration at my university, majoring in marketing and supply chain management, while working towards earning my certificate in innovation and entrepreneurship.

</p><p>Aside from my academics, I have been involved in a dance club called Pittsburgh Dance Ensemble since freshmen year, choreographing, practicing and performing various types of dance. Dance has always been a passion of mine, along with doing makeup, which is what interested me in the entrepreneurial route. Since middle school I have been doing makeup on my fellow classmates, which eventually turned into a business of mine in high school. Creating a business at a young age was very stressful, but kept my interest unlike most school work. So, when I found out I could incorporate entrepreneurship into my academic career, I felt like I finally had a place at college.</p><p>I&amp;E has motivated me throughout my college experience and inspired me to become an activist for it on campus. My UIF team and I have decided to begin implementing a campus wide, interdisciplinary I&amp;E certificate. We’ve noticed a divide between certain schools and a lack of collaboration within our entrepreneurial classes. By creating this certificate, we hope to expand our campus’s knowledge of I&amp;E and inspire other students to become as passionate about it as we are. = Related Links = [[University of Pittsburgh|University of Pittsburgh]] [[University of Pittsburgh Student Priorities|University of Pittsburgh Student Priorities]] <br/p>'''University Innovation Fellows''' Fall 2019: [[Sara Kron|Sara Kron]] [[Katelyn Morrison|Katelyn Morrison]] [[Liz Petley|Liz Petley]] Spring 2017: [[Tiffany Smith|Tiffany Smith]] [[Daniel Yates|Daniel Yates]] [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki//User:Sobrien556 Sean O'Brien] [[User:Shruthishankar|Shruthi Shankar]] [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki//SinjonBartel Sinjon Bartel] Spring 2016: [[Mark Doman|Mark Doman]] [http://universityinnovation.org/Grant%20Jacoby Grant Jacoby] [http://universityinnovation.org/Emily%20Klonicki Emily Klonicki] [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Zachary_Patterson Zach Patterson] [[Aakash Sudhakar|Aakash &nbsp;Sudhakar]] Spring 2015: [http://universityinnovation.org/David%20Jacob David Jacob] [http://universityinnovation.org/Madhur%20Malhotra Madhur Malhotra] [http://universityinnovation.org/Ian%20McIntyre Ian McIntyre] [http://universityinnovation.org/Harinee%20Suthakar Harinee Suthakar] Fall 2014: [http://universityinnovation.org/Jennifer%20Sommer Jennifer Sommer] Fall 2013: [http://universityinnovation.org/Brian%20Rhindress Brian Rhindress] [[Nathan Smialek]] Fall 2012: [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Karuna_Relwani Karuna Relwani]<div><br/></div>[[Category:Student Contributors|Student_Contributors]][[Category:Student Contributors]][[Category:University_of_Pittsburgh_(2019_Fall_cohort)]][[Category:Student Contributors]]{{CatTree|University_of_Pittsburgh}}
