Building Confidence

Numi Tesfay speaks with a self-assured confidence. Maybe it’s because the Manchester junior is from the metropolitan city of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, where she attended a French school with international students and learned to speak four languages along the way.

Maybe, too, it’s Manchester. A double major in business management and professional sales, Numi found career inspiration in Professor Joe Messer’s Principles of Management course. After graduation, she plans to return home to help grow the family business. “You can build something based on what you love,” says Numi. “I want to take my mom’s company and make it a bigger thing.”
