Objective:

My knowledge of international business and public policy make me an ideal candidate. As a student of international affairs, I am receiving a comprehensive education regarding our global economy, and will graduate with my MPIA in April 2005 from the University of Pittsburgh, GSPIA. I am seeking a position in international business, a concentration that has emerged from my work experience and coursework in economics, finance and international trade.

My travels to over 15 countries, including the developing world, and a fluent command of French, have proved invaluable in reinforcing my studies by exposing me to a variety of cultures. In my previous placements in the public and private sectors, I executed a variety of team-based projects, ranging from electronic database management, industry-related statistical research, to direct lobbying. These experiences have provided me with a wide set of skills, and giving me confidence in a variety of situations. I am enthusiastic and would welcome to opportunity to continue to broaden my already extensive skill set.
