Jaiden Asch traveled to Haiti with his church to aid in the construction of an orphanage during his senior year of high school.
Asch, a second-year studying finance, said the experience launched his desire to work in international development. He is now the co-president of the Global Business Brigades chapter at Penn State.
Business Brigades is one of several entities under Global Brigades, “an international movement of university students and professionals building economic opportunities in the developing world.”
