...years. On top of all of that, I'm an aspiring professional in the business world - this past summer I worked at an internship in financial consulting (banking advisory & analytics), and have previously held internship positions in human capital consulting & private equity, as well as in patent law. My interests are widely varied and eclectic - pro baseball (Go Mets!), Broadway theater, American public policy & politics, global affairs, and public economics.... I believe strongly in developing conceptual understanding before procedural mastery. There's nothing more satisfying for a student than getting a concept, enabling him or her to complete a whole host of problems that were previously difficult.
