Summary
I am an ambitious and hardworking student with superior skills in both leadership and my passions for finance and government. I excel in leadership positions, whether that be in my own business or as an intern overseas at Oxford. Beyond leadership positions, I am a great team member who takes pride in the success of my unit above myself. I enjoy working through projects or problems for long periods of time. I am excited to bring my leadership and expertise to the White House as an intern.
