I am currently a junior majoring in Economics and Mathematics, and also considering a minor in Business.

I am interested in intern opportunities during the spring or summer in any organization relating to economics or math, especially consulting, analysis or research assistant. I’m open to most locations in the U.S. and China and would greatly appreciate any advice on where to start and how to reach out to organizations.

Thank you very much for taking time to look at my Wisdom Wanted Ad, I look forward to hearing back from you.
