Summary

I am a UCSD joint Mathematics and Economics student with strong communication and organizational skills, developed through academic training and practical experiences. Volunteering at Los Angeles Fashion Week gave me practical experience in guest services and event support in a fast-paced environment. Participating in a persuasive speech tournament strengthened my public speaking, communication abilities, and confidence in delivering my message. Additionally, I demonstrated leadership and project management by leading a 15-member team to secure sponsorships and deliver a successful music event that resonated with over 100 audience members.
