Summary
As a Year 12 student at GEMS Wellington Silicon Oasis, I am currently pursuing A-levels in Economics, Mathematics, and Business, I am driven by a passion for the intersection of my subjects. I'm looking for a summer internship that fits with these interests since I'm eager to put my academic knowledge into practice. My goal is to gain a deeper grasp of how economic theories and mathematical concepts are applied in the business world by immersing myself in a professional setting. In addition to advancing my academic goals, this experience will offer priceless insights that will influence the direction of my future business and economics career.
