“I worked as a Research Assistant with the International Finance Corporation (World Bank Group) while I wrapped up the last semester. The work requires that I draw on
advanced economic theories, and rely on my understanding on international economics and finance to connect dots. I also utilize my quantitative skills in data
analysis and produce results that are often considered in decision-making. Another thing I appreciate about MIEF is the large amount of information one gets
accustomed to absorbing and processing efficiently within a short period of time. I find this skill very handy in my job, it allows me to work quickly and effectively.”
