About Me

I'm a current senior at MIT finishing up a major in Mathematics and a minor in Management Science. I've had five summer internship or research experiences in varied industries, and am seeking full-time employment in the Washington, D.C. area after I graduate.

I'm not set on a specific industry. I'm mostly looking for companies with a solid mission, a collaborative environment, and motivated, exciting people. I want to be able to use my analytical skills and my business training and experience to contribute to the success of the company I choose.
