KULSOOM KHAN

Hi, I'm Kulsoom (kind of like "wholesome," but swap the W for a K).

I'm a business student at Loyola University Chicago, still figuring out where I land between accounting, marketing, and healthcare administration. This summer, The CAFE Group's LEAD program connected me to people working in philanthropy up close, and one thing a CEO told me stuck: I'm more than my degree. That's pushed me to actually ask what I enjoy, not just what looks good on paper.

Marketing found me early and never let go. I run social media for a couple of student orgs, manage my schools DFPA's event marketing and ticketing, and started a henna business in high school that's still growing. I'm at my best building something small into something people show up for.
