Describe yourself

I am a senior at Northwestern, majoring in economics and MMSS and minoring in music composition. I'm a cofounder of the campus stand-up comedy club and led our club fencing team and my squad to two consecutive national titles, winning two individual golds myself in the process.

I've yet to start my own company, but I've developed a strong interest in business and tech during my time at Northwestern, acting as a research assistant to two Kellogg professors and taking several programming classes. As a research assistant to Shane Greenstein, Kellogg's IT chair, I taught myself Python to help with a project studying political bias in Wikipedia, and helped edit and research a forthcoming book on the economic history of the internet.

Reason here:   Just learn the process
