Bio
Melissa Torres
Luke is an inspired entrepreneur whose enthusiasm for Brazil and for making the world a better place is truly infectious. Luke single handedly created the Ohio State Alumni Club in Brazil and spent an enormous amount of time and energy to keep members engaged and active. He is committed to promoting OSU in Brazil and uses his significant Portuguese language skills and cultural understanding to do just that. Luke organized several visits for Fisher College of Business MBA students visiting Rio and sponsored a consulting project for a team of MBAs. The visits he arranged were well organized, informative and the perfect combination of lecture and hands-on learning. In my opinion, Luke's greatest skill may well be his ability to build networks and make connections for people from disparate backgrounds. I recommend him without reservation for any opportunity that attracts his considerable talent.
Laura Ensign
Luke has a unique combination of ambition, moral character, and vision. He is not afraid to take risks and challenge the status quo. He is one of the rare business-minded people that truly wants to change the world to help others, not himself.
