@grahamnash
Aspiring business professional with a focus on sustainability.
What I'm looking for
My name is Graham Nash, and I am a dedicated business professional with a double major in Business and Environmental Science and Sustainability from Allegheny College. I have a strong academic background, complemented by hands-on experience in various roles that have honed my skills in business operations, sustainability initiatives, and customer service.
Currently, I am part of the Farmers Insurance Protégé Program, where I am learning the intricacies of running an insurance agency. My previous role as a Producer allowed me to develop marketing strategies and engage with clients to promote our services effectively. Additionally, my academic projects, such as advising Acutec Precision Aerospace on energy consumption reduction, showcase my commitment to sustainability and practical problem-solving.
Beyond my academic and professional pursuits, I have also taken on leadership roles, including coaching young athletes and serving as the captain of my lacrosse team. These experiences have strengthened my leadership abilities and taught me the importance of teamwork and mentorship in achieving collective goals.
