Marija Trachtenberg is a 2011 graduate at Richmond, the American International University in London where she majored in Economics. After talking with Sanjay Raja and Ashley Barronette, they decided to co-found R.I.A.N. as a way to get first-hand and practical experience in local development. Her role as co-founder is to train and recruit upcoming Richmond undergraduates to continue R.I.A.N.’s work and fill different roles. Additionally, as an external fundraiser she works with Richmond’s community and other businesses to bring much needed resources to sustain the project. She hopes that students see this as an opportunity to develop their skills while working towards meeting the United Nation’s Millennium Development Goals. With the help of Richmond University faculty, staff, alumni, and undergraduates, R.I.A.N. has transformed itself from an idea to a reality.
