What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can apply economic reasoning and technical skills, lead within a team, and contribute in a fast-paced environment—especially where strong communication, data organization, and cross-functional collaboration are valued.

I’m a motivated Economics undergraduate at Virginia Tech with a minor in Behavioral Decision Science, where I combine analytical thinking with hands-on leadership. I’ve built my ability to thrive in fast-paced, team-oriented environments through hospitality and operations roles, plus student-led technical work.

As Aerodynamics Lead for Virginia Tech SolarCar, I apply CAD and technical problem-solving to real-world design challenges, helping drive our solar-powered vehicle to 9th place in the American Solar Challenge. I also sharpened my execution through an ANRO Inc. internship by streamlining data organization and spreadsheet management—strengthening how I communicate, collaborate cross-functionally, and deliver results. I’m now seeking opportunities to apply economic reasoning, technical skills, and leadership in a professional setting.
