CHARLOTTE KERPEN
Motivated and Passionate Student
Hi! My name is Charlotte Kerpen, and I'm a rising Senior at the Questrom School of Business at Boston University. Throughout my life, I've made a consistent effort to work hard towards my goals and commit to helping our world become a better place. Whether through volunteer work, raising over $40,000 for school safety, or becoming the first female National Chair of the High School Democrats of America, I never stop pushing myself to break down barriers. In the future, I hope to combine my unique leadership experiences with ideals learned in college and show the world what I have to offer.
