My two biggest strengths in life have always been my tenacity and my analytical mind. Whether in school or in my non-professional passions, such as cooking and climbing, I have always taken a strategic and calculated approach to problem solving. Economics, often defined as the study of decision-making, has always resonated with me and my drive for optimal choice making. I am particularly interested in using inferential statistics to make future projections, and I often find myself staying up late at night analyzing data from various government websites, searching for significant correlations.
