I am a trilingual Economics student at Vassar College with 4 years of experience researching and analyzing both national and international market trends throughout my undergraduate studies in order to prepare for the role as a Market Research Analyst. As a naturally analytical and detail-oriented person, I have performed extremely well in my Economics and French studies, excelling every semester on the Dean's List and soon to graduate Magna Cum Laude, high honors. During my academic studies, I have developed extensive mathematical and statistical skills that I leverage to conduct accurate data analysis, pattern detection, result quantification, and graphical representation, not only in my previous position as an ECON Research Assistant, but also in my current independent research project.
My extensive written and spoken communication skills as well as public speaking skills allow me to effectively lead and motivate classmates as President of the Business Club and Cross Country Team Captain. My ability to remain positive and calm under pressure allows me to overcome new and challenging situations individually and as part of a team by utilizing effective critical-thinking and problem-solving strategies to find success. By applying my past academic and extracurricular experiences, I am prepared to enthusiastically and responsibly take on my first job as a Market Research Analyst.
