Ever since I was little, my favorite question has always been “Why?” I love understanding why the world works as it does and how we can work together to improve it. This has been my motivation in life for many years.I am currently a senior at the University of South Carolina’s Honors College studying international business, marketing, and Spanish. USC's Darla Moore School of Business's international business program is number one in the country. I enjoy thinking creatively, problem-solving, and interacting with people, so I was naturally drawn to the human side of business. As an Austrian-American dual citizen, I have an international perspective on life. I love learning about other countries, cultures, and ways of life. Through the Darla Moore School of Business, I have participated in study abroad trips to the Czech Republic, Cuba, Austria, and Thailand. I am fluent in German and Spanish. I spent my semester abroad at Universidad Torcuato di Tella in Buenos Aires this past spring with the goal of becoming completely fluent in Spanish and learning more about Argentina's history and culture.Previously, I have worked as a business intern at HB Elements, an exterior design company in Pompano Beach, Florida. I greatly enjoyed my time there learning how to be the most effective businesswoman possible. I have also worked as a marketing intern at United National Consumer Suppliers (UNCS), a wholesaling company based out of Wilton Manors, Florida. While there, I grew my knowledge of marketing and put my classroom training into practice to help in the launching of a new sustainable line of cleaning products.Please feel free to reach out to me at emm31@email.sc.edu!
