Emma Kim

I am a studious and driven worker who is looking for an internship within the field of business. As a freshman in the Marshall School of Business at USC, I am still discovering what pathway within business I want to take. I am open to learning more about any given field (thus far, I have taken Microeconomics in Business which I found quite interesting and intuitive and am currently enrolled in Intro to Financial Accounting as well as Choosing and Planning a Future Career in Business).
