<span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">Originally from Brazil, Bianca Neme Barros is an undergraduate business student at Menlo College, double majoring in Finance </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">and Entrepreneurship</span> <span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">Business Analytics</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">.

<span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Recently, Bianca became one of the officers for Oaks Innovation Club, the biggest entrepreneurship club on campus, where she creates and executes impact-driven projects, such as Startup Weekend Silicon Valley and TEDxMenloCollege. </span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Bianca was the Director of Partnerships for the very first TEDxMenloCollege, themed "This is America." Bianca and her team were able to create a self-sustaining, large-scale initiative that had no precedent at Menlo College. </span>
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">Bianca is a real politics enthusiast, participating in more than 15 MUNs- (Model United Nations), the latest one being the G20 Committee, discussing the Paris Agreement. Envisioning a world where people are not stopped from anything just for constraints they were born with, is what keeps her driving.</span>
