Professional info
I seemed to learn all too late that my major coursework did not challenge and cultivate the creativity bursting in my core. Finance has turned out to be an exceptional foundation for the multifaceted career I am pursuing and hope to find very soon. I do not take learning lightly and constantly absorb all that I can. I am applying to Ogilvy and Mather in hopes to find that opportunity which allows me to learn on a daily basis and exercise both the lucidly analytical and passionately imaginative sides of my ever-developing mind.
