Maxwell Nuriyev

Young entrepreneur combining business with giving back — importing European chocolates, supporting children battling cancer, and helping local businesses thrive online.

About

I'm a high school student who learned early that the best way to understand business is to build one. My passion project — importing chocolates from Europe — taught me how a small idea becomes a real operation, from sourcing products abroad to bringing them to people at home. But for me, the project was never only about commerce: I donate chocolates to children battling cancer, turning my venture into a way of giving back.

That same curiosity about how businesses work drives my other passion — helping local entrepreneurs tell their story online. I interview business owners about their products, customers, and goals, then build websites and shape an online presence that fits each of them. Rooted in my community through CTeen and the Brighton Beach Chabad, I bring the same values to everything I do: initiative, service, and genuine connection with people.
