About Dina Santabarbara

Hello, I am currently a rising third-year honors student at Bentley University with an interest in economics-finance, business administration and law. My strengths include being a natural leader, analytical thinker, and highly organized. I am a part of Bentley University\'s Honors Program, Adamian Law Club, Phi Sigma Sigma sorority and Bentley Dance Team. My particular accomplishments include being a part of the E-Board of Adamian Law Club that hosted neighboring law schools such as Boston College, Boston University, Suffolk University and Northeastern University to allow aspiring law school students the opportunity to get advice on post-graduate plans. Beyond my accomplishments within law development, I am currently taking an Economics course and a Financial Analysis course at Bentley. These courses have taught me how to use Excel proficiently in reporting financial decisions and evaluating economic stability. In my role of Fundraising Chair for Phi Sigma Sigma’s Zeta Delta Chapter, I have raised over $1200 for our philanthropies: School and College Readiness and Breast Cancer Awareness. I coordinated our chapter’s annual Phi K race with over 50 participants which took place in the neighboring streets of Waltham. Overall, my diverse experiences at Bentley have allowed me to strengthen my academics, social connections, and maintain leadership qualities.
