Noah Florimon

Noah manages and coordinates a variety of programs and events designed to support professional and leadership development. This includes handling the logistics, operations, and marketing for initiatives such as orientation programs, workshops, and other social and cultural events. His focus is on creating enriching and effective programs that cater specifically to the needs of international students, faculty, and researchers.

Before joining ISSO, Noah managed the financial frameworks for over 40 Principal Investigators as a Financial Coordinator at Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health. This involved overseeing multimillion-dollar research grants, subawards, and procurement workflows to ensure fiscal integrity. Prior to this, he was an Administrative Coordinator in the Department of Music at Columbia University. In that role, he handled the department's financial administration, handling everything from purchase orders and vendor transactions to budget allocations.

What Noah loves about NYC is its incredible diversity. The city encourages its inhabitants to stay on top of global, cultural, and emerging trends and gives unique insights and convictions. At the same time, it challenges one to constantly examine their assumptions, especially when faced with contrasting perspectives. In New York City, it's not about being isolated; it's about finding a balance with others. This constant back-and-forth between personal conviction and living together is what truly makes the New York experience so rich. It's a city that celebrates individuality while also demanding community engagement, creating a truly transformative journey for those who live here.

If you need some coffee recommendations, he suggests Orens Coffee as the best, hands down! Also, he has a friendly reminder -- you just can't beat walking down Riverside Park.
