A graduate of Carnegie Mellon University in 2004 with a B.S. in Decision Science, Justin has constantly sought to combine his personal interest in social justice and his professional skills by working at organizations such as Honest Tea, where he focused on sales and marketing, and the Midtown Community Court, where he assisted in developing criminal justice policies for the New York State Court System. More recently, Hakuta researched the NGO response to human trafficking in the Philippines in 2007 as a U.S. Fulbright Scholar. Justin created the Human Trafficking Project, a newly founded nonprofit organization based in New York, after witnessing the need for increased public awareness of modern day slavery and additional resources to assist survivors of trafficking during rehabilitation and reintegration into their home communities. Hakuta will be attending Harvard Business School this fall to focus on social enterprise and creating innovative, sustainable solutions for social change.
