If you meet me, you’ll realize that I am a total nerd. I have always performed very well in my academic pursuits, and spent many years tutoring mathematics as a side hustle. If I join your team, you can expect an unbeatable work ethic and a positive attitude to complement it. I care deeply about making a positive impact in my work, and value the approval of my peers and supervisors highly.

Generally, I am upbeat and a half-glass full kind of guy. The world of government consulting contains a million different roadblocks, and I take pride in delivering actionable solutions despite the (at times) difficult technical conditions. With me, you know you are hiring someone that gets things done.

Focus of the Major

Quantitative major in applied economics with a management focus. Builds on a set of related quantitative methods for optimal allocation of scarce resources in private and public enterprises.

Covers some of the functional fields of business management; however, the degree is more focused on quantitative methods than a traditional business administration major.

• Determine the value of various financial assets and liabilities under uncertainty

• Translate an economic problem into an appropriate mathematical model; describe solution techniques; and interpret the solutions to mathematical problems in economic terms

Academically, my greatest achievement would likely be graduating with highest honors, which was awarded to less than 10 students in my department of over 500 graduates.

Personally, I think the huge network of friends I have is something to brag about. I've gotten so lucky to meet amazing, genuine people at each stage of my life. I wouldn't be where I am today without them.

Indeed, I do speak Japanese. I have taken courses in the language for roughly five years. Recently, my Japanese professor told me that I am fluent in speaking, but I would probably disagree with her. Unfortunately, I have never been there as the abroad programs were cancelled two years in a row due to COVID, but I want to get there as soon as I can.

よろしくお願いします!

Yes. Hopefully this question will change to 225 soon.
