In this 3-month experience, I gained extensive consulting and marketing skills while working with a diverse international team. I conducted industry and competitive analyses, curated primary and secondary research, and contributed to a market entry strategy for a Japanese fast-food company looking to expand into new markets.After weeks of research and collaboration, our team delivered a market entry plan that recommended U.S. expansion, which helped our project rank in the top 3% of over 1,000 global teams. I received a peer rating of 4.7/5 for my work ethic, perseverance, collaboration, and creativity.Working with an international team on this project has reinforced the importance of diversity in perspectives and teamwork. This experience has been instrumental in shaping my approach to global business challenges.

This was an 8-week experience in which I learned about consulting for non-profits. I conducted comparative analyses, mapped the landscape of the non-profit educational industry, and carried out extensive market and secondary research.After 7 weeks of research and 1 week of presentation preparation, I, along with 4 other presenters (Suleni Sabio-Arzu, Lae’sha Reed, Salina Fessehazion, and Dennis LaPoole), presented our findings to over 40 attendees, including Bottom Line's CEO, executives, team leads, PwC associates, and fellow externs, with support from our program manager, Michael Guerrero.This led to me receiving 5/5 stars on my presentation and completing the externship with an Outstanding Completion rating. Working with students from across the world and exploring the field of consulting has significantly influenced my career path, and I am deeply grateful for this experience.
