Looking for an internship
About Me
As a graduate of Sciences Po in public affairs and economics, I am now completing my education with an intensive program in finance at HEC. During my years of study, I had the opportunity to intern both in the public and the private sectors in strategic consulting and finance positions. In the long run, my goal is to leverage on this diverse background through a career in finance at the crossroads of the public and the private sectors. To that end, I am currently looking for an internship position in corporate and investment banking with a public-private dimension.
