FROM OUR FOUNDER

Hello, everyone! My name is Gabriela Forter. I graduated from UCLA with a degree in Global Studies with a minor in Entrepreneurship. As a freshman at UCLA, I was very interested in how business could make positive social and environmental impacts while still maximizing profit. I began conducting research with faculty from the UCLA Anderson School of Management on corporate social responsibility (CSR). My research was focused on financial incentives for CSR. A year later, I was one of the few students from the class selected to travel to an international Competition of Social Enterprises hosted in St. Petersburg, Russia. The conference opened my eyes to the great efforts taking place around the world to advance and promote social businesses. Ultimately, in the spring of 2016, I founded the undergraduate chapter of Net Impact with the help of a few of my classmates.
